A La Salle County grand jury met Tuesday and indicted an 18-year-old Streator man on four felony counts tied to an Oct. 14 traffic stop by Streator police. Officers say they found two guns in the stop: a .380 pistol with an altered serial number and a homemade, unserialized "ghost gun" fitted with a laser sight. The charges include defacing a firearm's identification marks, two counts of having a gun without a FOID card, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon for allegedly being armed while under an order of protection. Prosecutors say earlier video links him to the ghost gun. His arraignment is set for Oct. 29. The same grand jury also returned indictments against more than two dozen other people from around the area.
