And criminals don't obey gun laws. #49: Gunman shot a passing car while firing across Chicago Avenue — and while on felony bond.
A man is accused of firing a gun across Chicago Avenue, striking a passing car and injuring its driver, while on bond for felony charges of aggravated battery to police.
Mennard Allison is now the 49th person accused of killing, trying to kill, or shooting someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for a felony.
He was on bond for felony aggravated battery to police, but he also has multiple felony convictions, which means he should not be in possession of a gun at all.
He has previous convictions for possessing a stolen motor vehicle in 2015, two felony gun convictions from 2012.
My guess is that the non-prosecutor for Cook County, Kim Foxx, will not charge him with anything, and certainly not turn him over the feds, where a felon in possession of a gun charge could net serious time.
But hey, keeping violent offenders in jail would be unfair.
