The SWAT response and shelter-in-place order in Lake in the Hills Thursday morning was due to a search warrant on a 20-year-old man allegedly possessing 38 rounds of pistol and rifle ammunition without a FOID card.

Joel Fernandez, 20, was arrested without incident at his residence in the 1400 block of Clayton Marsh Drive in Lake in the Hills and was charged with four counts of possessing ammunition without a valid Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card, a Class A misdemeanor.

At around 9:50 a.m. Thursday, the Lake in the Hills Police Department – assisted by the Carpentersville Police Department and the McHenry County Sheriff’s multijurisdictional SWAT team – executed a search warrant at Fernandez’s residence.

“The search warrant was part of a joint investigation into illegal activity,” the Lake in the Hills Police Department said in a news release.

A criminal complaint filed in McHenry County Circuit Court alleges that Fernandez knowingly possessed – without a valid FOID card – 20 cartridges of .45 Auto Sellier & Bellot branded full metal jacket (FMJ), 13 cartridges of .223 Remington branded steel core FMJ, one cartridge of 9mm Blazer Brass branded FMJ, one cartridge of 9mm Remington-Peters branded FMJ, one cartridge of 9mm Speer branded jacketed hollow point (JHP), and two cartridges of 9mm Sig Sauer branded JHP.

This means that Fernandez was allegedly possessing 25 cartridges of pistol ammunition and 13 cartridges of rifle ammunition, totaling 38.

Guess they missed that “shall not be infringed” bit.
Seriously, all he had was some ammo? Ridiculous.

Yes. That is one of many ways in which the Peoples’ Glorious Democratic Soviet Socialist Republic of Illinois violates the Constitution.

So glad I fled Illinois. After I left I naturally let my FOID and concealed carry permit with IL lapse, resulting in them sending threatening letters. Since the FOID lapsed first they were insisting I turn in my CC permit "at the local sheriff's office" or face arrest. So I went to my local sheriff's office - in Wyoming - and tried to turn it in. Of course they just looked at me funny and refused to take it.

The threatening letters from IL did not provide an alternative method and when I tried calling to resolve the situation I was just caught in endless automated message loops with no option to reach a human and no option to leave messages, etc. I wasn't going to blindly mail the permit to an office that might ignore or mishandle it while they continued to make threats (anyone familiar with IL government should know what I'm talking about), so I wound up ignoring it all. Now I just try to avoid being in Illinois on the off chance their boneheaded government considers me a dangerous criminal.
