Chicago — A 19-year-old man who was adjudicated delinquent in juvenile court for three carjackings this year and illegal gun possession in 2021 was found carrying a gun during a traffic stop in Chicago this week, prosecutors said.
Jamarrie Armstrong was ordered to pay a $3,000 bail deposit to get out of jail on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and possession of cannabis

Chicago cops saw five passengers climb into an Uber driver’s Kia and pulled the car over for safety and seatbelt violations Tuesday, prosecutor Rhianna Biernat said. She said that some of the four passengers who sat in the car’s back seat appeared to be of school age.
Officers asked everyone to step out of the car, and officers noticed that Armstrong kept his left arm stiff and at his side as he moved, according to Biernat. A loaded handgun allegedly fell to the ground when cops asked Armstrong to put his hands behind his back.
While Armstrong has not been arrested since his 18th birthday, he was sentenced to a year in juvenile detention for one of his three carjacking adjudications this year, Biernat said. He received probation for a juvenile gun case in 2021.
Armstrong’s defense attorney said he lives in Bloomington with his mother.
Only going to get worse after January 1.
SPJNK.
Somehow… I had actually forgotten that.
I think it’s just because it’s difficult for me to comprehend.
Merry Christmas to Chicago!
The band, not the city.
Because my idiot state treats late teens as juveniles just because they feel like it. It’s awful, especially because most of the carjackings are committed by minors in Chicago. Fatherless kids left to run amok...
If he was still in high school, they would have definitely treated him like a minor.
