ILLINOIS — A suburban Chicago man is facing multiple felony charges after authorities recovered a gun, silencers and a variety of drugs during a search of his home earlier this month.
According to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, investigators, along with federal Homeland Security agents, executed a search warrant April 2 at a residence in south suburban Lansing as part of a firearms investigation.
Inside the home, authorities said they found a loaded handgun equipped with a red-dot sight, three silencers, ammunition and high-capacity magazines. Investigators also reported recovering suspected cocaine, ecstasy, alprazolam, about 900 grams of suspected marijuana and THC vape products.
James Mangerson, who lives at the residence, was taken into custody.
Prosecutors charged the 21-year-old on April 3 with multiple felonies, including armed violence, unlawful use of a weapon involving a silencer and several counts of drug possession with intent to deliver.
Mangerson is being held in the Cook County Jail and is scheduled to return to court on April 22.
The investigation remains ongoing.
