Judge Denies Pretrial Release for Deion Kidd After Loaded Gun Found in Naperville Stop

Prosecutors argue his prior felony history makes pretrial detention necessary for public safety.

Overview

  • Deion Kidd, 30, appeared in DuPage County court Monday, where a judge granted prosecutors’ request to deny him pretrial release.
  • He is charged with two counts of aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon—one tied to a prior felony and one for lacking required FOID/FCCA—plus multiple misdemeanors and petty offenses.
  • Naperville police stopped his vehicle late Saturday after an improper lane change and reported seeing movements toward the glovebox and rear floorboard.
  • Officers say they recovered a loaded Glock from the glovebox and found indications of alcohol in the car, and they handcuffed Kidd after he pulled away during a search.
  • Prosecutors cite 2014 convictions for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and obstructing justice, and court records list Feb. 2 as his next appearance.
