550 rounds of ammunition seized from Johnson's house
GURNEE, Ill. (AP) -
Police seized about 550 rounds of ammunition from the home of Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson during a raid last month, according to new court documents.
The ammunition was discovered in Johnson's kitchen, basement, garage and bedroom.
Police also found six guns, marijuana and unlabeled pills believed to be the prescription painkiller hydrocodone, the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reported, citing search warrant documents filed Friday in Lake County Circuit Court.
Johnson was charged with six counts of possession of a firearm without a gun-owner identification card. Authorities said they found a semiautomatic rifle with 19 live rounds in the master bedroom, four unloaded weapons - two rifles and two handguns - and a loaded .45-caliber handgun under a leather chair in the basement.
Johnson's bodyguard, Willie B. Posey, was arrested on felony drug charges after the raid; Posey was shot and killed two days later during an early morning fight at a nightclub in Chicago.
Johnson lived with his girlfriend, Posey and two young children.
It was the third arrest in 18 months for Johnson, who must stay at home except to go to work and needs permission to leave Illinois until a court decides whether he violated his probation on a 2005 gun charge.
Johnson publicly apologized and received a one-game suspension.
Police in Gurnee, about 40 miles northwest of Chicago, began an investigation six weeks before the raid after neighbors complained about three caged pit bulls on the property and said they heard gunshots from Johnson's back yard.
During the raid, police said they discovered a ``business-type card'' inside a gym bag that listed the telephone numbers of Bears coach Lovie Smith and team security chief Tom Dillon.
``On the reverse side of the card is listed warnings about the legal limit for DUI and possessing a firearm without a valid (identification),'' according to court documents.
Bears spokesman Scott Hagel said all team players received the card.
``It's all part of the training our players receive at the beginning of the year,'' he said.
Johnson's next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.
