Berlin added, "In this case, as a convicted felon, Mr. Roberts is prohibited from legally owning a firearm. What I find particularly disturbing however, are the allegations that he was illegally in possession of a loaded firearm at a family-friendly recreation facility."
The 3211 Odyssey Court facility's parking lot saw more than a dozen gun arrests between 2023 and 2025.
Roberts is being held at DuPage County Jail and is scheduled to appear in court on June 30.
