Charges have been filed after a man allegedly barricaded himself with two weapons on Memorial Day in a Northwest Side home.
Leszek Kania, 61, of Schorsch Village, faces two misdemeanor counts of firearm without a valid FOID and two misdemeanor counts of possessing ammunition with a valid FOID, according to Chicago police.
Officers were called at 6:30 a.m. to a domestic dispute in the 3400 block of North Nagle Avenue and spoke with a woman who said a man was inside the single-family home with a gun, police said. A SWAT team was called when the man refused to come out, police said.
He escaped after a gas leak sent fumes through the home, and was arrested shortly after, police said. Officers allegedly found two weapons.
Kania is due in court June 5.
