- Aggravated unlawful use of a weapon;
- Unlawful possession of a firearm by a street gang member;
- Unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon;
- Possession of a firearm without a FOID card; and
- Reckless discharge of a firearm.
Sandwich police did not immediately indicate Riley’s next scheduled court date.
