Speedway Gas Customer Waves Guns At Others: JPD

JOLIET, IL - A 75-year-old Crest Hill man who lives on Kelly Avenue remains in the Will County Jail after Joliet Police say he began waving one of his many guns at the Speedway Gas Station's customers around 2:15 a.m. on Sunday, June 30. Joliet Police say the incident occurred at the business in the 1600 block of West Jefferson Street.

According to Joliet Police, officers stopped Richard Walkey about eight blocks away after people at the Speedway notified the police that a man was waving and pointing his gun at them.

"Walkey was found to be in possession of several loaded and unloaded firearms within his vehicle," police explained. "Walkey had a valid FOID but did not have a valid conceal carry permit."

Joliet Police say they determined that Walkey was at the Speedway getting gas and while there, "got into a verbal argument with several (people) blocking the gas pumps. At one point during the argument, Walkey pulls out a gun and starts to point it at people."

According to Joliet PD, Walkey was delivered to the Will County Jail on charges including aggravated assault and aggravated unlawful use of a gun.

He remained in the county jail as of late Monday afternoon.
