Bourbonnais Police make gun arrest

Bourbonnais Police arrested a Kankakee man Saturday after he was found parked outside a bar with a gun. Bourbonnais Police say it was just before midnight Saturday night when officers spotted the car parked headed the wrong direction and in a no parking zone near a bar in the Village. As officers approached the car they allegedly saw open alcohol inside the car and what appeared to be an AR-15 style rifle. Police asked the four people inside the car to get out and the rifle turned out to be a BB gun, but a search of the car did turn up a loaded handgun. Bourbonnais Police arrested 26-year-old Corey Tharpe, Junior for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
