Kansas man faces weapons charge after disturbance in Streamwood

A Kansas man faces an aggravated unlawful possession of a firearm following a report of a disturbance involving an armed offender Monday in Streamwood.

Kanbren Moore of Prairie Village, Kansas, was charged with the felony and several additional misdemeanors after being located at a bus terminal in Chicago later Monday afternoon, according to Streamwood police.

Officers were called to the 1500 block of McKool Avenue at about 1:09 p.m. Monday for a report of an armed offender, police said. The person had fled the scene before officers arrived, according to police.

Exercising caution, the information was provided to Elgin Area School District U-46 while additional safety measures were implemented for area schools, police said.

While the search underway, Streamwood received assistance from other agencies, including the Cook County Sheriff’s Office and the Wheeling, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, Hanover Park, Bartlett, Elgin and Wayne police departments.

Moore was kept in custody Tuesday following his detention hearing, but the date of his next scheduled court appearance wasn’t immediately available.

Streamwood police said they determined the matter to be an isolated incident with no further threat to the public and the case remains under investigation.
