A man who sources say sold an assault rifle to gang members which was then used to shoot two Chicago Police officers last May was released from federal custody on a $4,500 bond on Wednesday.
Charles Williams was arrested and charged in federal court last week with possession of a firearm by a felon. On Wednesday, Magistrate Judge Young B. Kim ordered him released on $4,500, court records show.
A law enforcement source told the Chicago Sun-Times that Williams is believed to be the man who sold a high-caliber assault rifle to members of the La Raza gang. The gun was used in a May shooting that wounded two Chicago Police officers at 43rd and Ashland.

In Williams indictment, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed how he allegedly sold another gun to a criminal informant in a parking garage in west suburban La Grange. Though the source said he is suspected of selling the assault rifle to the La Raza gang, he was never charged in connection to the shooting of the two officers.

“The .223 is a good coyote round, but under powered for much more than that.”
Hi Beagle...well I think I have to respectively disagree with you about coyotes being all it’s good for. It seem to recall that it worked pretty well putting down gobs of small Asian people wearing black pajamas. ;>)
“Williams was convicted in 1998 of first-degree murder and sentenced to 30 years in Illinois state prison...”
He was enjoying RAT-privilege.

Yeah, small AP that weigh about as much as a coyote.
