Well the Bears have a long way to go to catch up with the Bengals.

Johnson was not home when police arrived around 11 a.m. Thursday, apparently blasting their way into the home.

I wonder what they found in the garbage to inspire this grand entrance? Maybe a roach clip?

Firearm Owners Identification Card!

What the hell is that and why -- ah yes, Chicago!

Why not burn him out? I mean he had some marijuana and that's bad isn't it? Worse than murder, armed robbery, rape, grand theft auto, etc . . . . So they just bust his door down, plaster his name all over the papers, he'll go to court, pay fines and drug counseling and that's it? Does anyone else think this is excessive? Going through his garbage?

This is a huge victory for the good guys fighting the War on Drugs.

I'm surprised they busted down the door of the correct house.

...unlawful possession of a firearm without a Firearm Owners Identification Card,...

Well no wonder he was arrested. It's right there as plain as the nose on your face in the Constitution, "thou shalt possess a Firearms Owners Identification Card". It's right there before the abortion on demand right. ;O)

Gurnee is not Chicago, but it is in the same State.

He must have thunk he was playing for the Minnesoti Viqueens. They have many more convictions than titles.

Hey, what are you bitching about? They didn't shoot him in the face through the closed front door did they? Get over it... Besides, he won't see a jail cell until well after the Bears are eliminated in the playoffs.

This is getting more and more curious. A previous article stated that they were made aware of barking by pit-bull type dogs and gun shots and that they suspected he had drugs inside. They made no mention of dumpster diving in the previous article.

I say the fix is in! What does this guy earn a year?
No FOID card---None of the family or hangers-on could qualify and pony up $5.00 and a clean criminal record?

My bet it someone doesn't want him to play ball this winter.

Whatever--I hate Illinois so much sometimes. But I am disgusted with the foolish behavior of all concerned.

Armored vehicle and SWAT team? What did they think the guy was doing?

He should do something about the pal of his with the dope, too. I mean, don't get me wrong--it's his castle. But now he risks people having kittens and taking his kids over the 'drugs and guns'.

I just don't get this. Walter Payton was a confirmed gun nut and the team has a gun culture of sorts from way back. On the bright side--Cook County will let him skate on this.
Maybe Mayor Daley can make him a part time cop or something so he can carry.

Sources tell CBS 2 complaints from a neighbor in Gurnee prompted police to search the garbage from Johnson's home three times in recent weeks


I'd really like to talk to the neighbor and ask him how in the world he got the cops to do that

Johnson's brushes with the law are the only detours on a journey from the streets of Gary, Ind. to NFL stardom. His family moved him away from Gary to get him gang bangers.

LOL! Thats where I'm from... Tank, keep your nose clean and drop your friend.
