A convicted felon who allegedly left a loaded handgun in his car while at a Naperville bowling alley was arrested on felony charges by Naperville police.

Asante Glover, 35, of Chicago, will remain in the DuPage County jail while awaiting trial on one count each of unlawful pssession of a firearm by a repeat felony offender and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon-prior conviction, a news release from the DuPage County state’s attorney’s and Naperville Police Department said.

Naperville police doing a routine check of the parking lot at the Lucky Strike Naperville at 1515 Aurora Ave. about 9:05 p.m. Nov. 28 and saw a silver gun protruding from beneath the driver’s seat of a Mercedes SUV, the release said.

When the driver, later identified as Glover, returned about 11:35 p.m., the officers stopped him, made him get out of the SUV and recovered a loaded Glock .45-caliber handgun with a bullet in the chamber and a fully loaded magazine, the release said.

“The law is very clear, as a convicted felon Mr. Glover is prohibited from legally owning a firearm,” State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. “What I find particularly disturbing in this case is the allegation that Mr. Glover was in possession of a loaded firearm at a family-friendly recreation facility during an extremely busy holiday weekend.”

Glover’s next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 18.
