A third handgun was recovered and a second suspect was detained for an unlawful use of a weapon investigation. The second suspect was released pending lab results to establish possession of the handgun. 

Reizner faces three felony counts of delivery of a controlled substance, a felony count of possession of cannabis with intent to deliver, a felony count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a felony count of delivery of methamphetamine and three misdemeanor charges for not having a firearm owner’s identification card

His next court date is Nov. 29 at the Skokie Courthouse.
