Man Accused Of Having Machine Gun At TopGolf In Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL — An Indiana man faces felony charges after police say he was caught with a machine gun at TopGolf in Naperville Saturday.

Jalen Littleton, 19, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon — machine gun in connection with the incident.

Police were patrolling the parking lot of the Odyssey Court TopGolf just before 10 p.m. when they say they saw a gun visible in the driver's side floor of a Chevy Cruze. Officers say Littleton and another person came back to the car shortly after and that Littleton got into the car's driver's side.

Police turned on their emergency lights and moved their cars to prevent Littleton from driving off. They reported finding a loaded .40-caliber Glock 22 with a laser sight, extended magazine and automatic switch.

Littleton is accused of possessing the gun without a valid FOID or conceal carry license. He was arrested at the scene and is being held at DuPage County Jail.

“Public safety is the top priority of my office and the allegation that Mr. Littleton unlawfully possessed an extremely dangerous, fully-loaded gun capable of firing as a machine gun, at a family-friendly entertainment facility is outrageous,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement.

He added, “Allegations such as those against Mr. Littleton will not be tolerated in DuPage County and will be fully prosecuted. Once again, the proactive efforts of the Naperville Police Department removed a dangerous weapon from the streets and in doing so, may have averted tragedy."

Littleton is set to appear in court Oct. 16.
