CHICAGO — A Chicago man has been sentenced to four years for illegal gun possession and another four years for trying to flush a second gun that cops didn’t know about down the toilet of his Chicago Police Department holding cell.
Tavarus Walker, 25, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in a vehicle with a previous conviction in exchange for the sentences from Judge William Hooks, according to court records.
But it could have been a lot worse. Prosecutors dropped the two most serious charges Walker faced: Class X possession of a firearm inside a penal institution and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Wow!
They must not have gotten that confession or other evidence they needed.
No one frisked the guy before sticking him in a cage? Perplexing.
....”...Tavarus Walker......” obviously a budding rocket scientist or maybe brain surgeon....this guy’s IQ is probably on par with that of an earthworm.....
Once he flushed the gun, I’m surprised the cops had anything to go on.
If he things a gun will flush I feel for his poor toilet at home ... the horrors he must have inflicted on it!
That’s a crime against plumbing.
Thinks ... not things ... darn pudgy fingers....
Was it an old-fashioned toilet? You know, the box and the chain thing.
Not in a jail cell. Can’t have any tank in there for the prisoners to hide stuff in.
A friend is a newly minted medical doctor, now on an advanced program in gastroenterology. He's assigned to the local county hospital, and as the low-man on the totem pole, pulls the night shifts and "special cases."
Which includes being on call for all the prisoners coming from county jail who swallow objects to get a few days of "vacation," or who are found to have stuck bizarre things up their rectum, both dangerous and inert.
Says he regularly gets a couple cases each week from the county jail
A new way to clear a plugged toilet ... the Chicago way ... works only once, though.
Not looking. But I will guess how his mutha name him: Ah likes dat funk ban Tavares so ah names my boy Tavarus. How u spell dat?
The cops doing a half assed frisk!
Prosecutors dropped the two most serious charges Walker faced: Whey they are warned of extra charges if they bring prohibited items into the jail.
Lost my guns in a toilet accident? Doesn’t have the same ring...
I get that but the report said he had it in his waistband not his butt. Someone didn’t do their job very well.
