An O’Hare Airport baggage handler faces several weapons charges after he allegedly stole a gun from a Chicago police officer’s checked luggage.
Abdoulaye Barry, 23, of the 2400 block of North Kedzie, has been charged with aggravated concealment of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon, possession of ammunition without a valid firearm owner identification card and failure to possess the card, a Chicago police spokeswoman said.
Barry was arrested Wednesday evening about 8 p.m. when police pulled him over and found the officer’s gun in a plastic bag in Barry’s front pants pocket, Kubiak said. Police ran the serial number on the gun and found it had been reported stolen by the officer sometime between Sunday and Wednesday.
