PEORIA, Ill. – A man is in custody after he allegedly had a gun in his possession near a popular downtown Peoria adult club.
Peoria Police say Lexani Garcia, 20, was taken into custody on charges of Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Possession of a Firearm Under 21, and No FOID Card.
Police were called to an area in the vicinity of Big Al’s around 2:30 Sunday morning and say Garcia tried to flee the scene where a large number of people had gathered.
Officers say they found the gun on Garcia and took him into custody.
Jail records indicate, however, Garcia was released from custody after being given a notice to appear in court.
