WOW! THEY REALLY GOT A CRIMINAL OFF THE

A
University of Illinois at Chicago employee was arrested this afternoon after he
brought a legally purchased gun to work because he didn't want to leave it at
home while his house was being renovated, a UIC spokesman said.
The
employee at a UIC building near Polk and Wood streets brought the gun to work
today, and another employee saw it and called police, said Mark Rosati, a UIC
spokesman.
Police
were called at 4:30 p.m., and determined that the employee had recently
purchased the handgun, and had brought it--unloaded, and in a case--to work
because he did not want to leave it at home while his home was undergoing
remodeling, Rosati said. The employee had a valid Illinois Firearm Owners
Identification Card, Rosati said.
A
nearby hospital sent out an alert to employees saying that there was a standoff
involving police at the UIC building, but Chicago Police and Rosati said no
standoff occurred.
No
information about charges against the employee were immediately available.
