Joliet man arrested on charges of gun, drug possession outside Naperville Topgolf

Naperville police arrested a Joliet man who they say was in illegal possession of a gun and illegal drugs in the Topgolf parking lot.

Darron Prince, 36, is charged with one count of being an armed habitual criminal and one count of armed violence. A DuPage County judge ordered Prince held without bail.

Police said an officer on foot patrol near Topgolf smelled cannabis coming from an unoccupied Volkswagen SUV around 9:30 p.m. Monday. When the officer stepped closer to investigate, he spotted a gun protruding from the driver's-side door frame, authorities said.

Officers waited for the car's owner to return. Around an hour later, Prince entered the car, and police arrested him.

Police said they also found illegal mushrooms, cocaine, heroin and one pill of MDMA.

Prince is due back in court September 27.
