Bloomington Man Arrested For Gun At YouthBuild

Wikimedia Commons

Police in Normal say an 18 year old man brought a loaded handgun to YouthBuild.

Youthbuild on Wylie Drive is an agency that allows students to learn basic construction skills while building housing for low and moderate income people. It targets unemployed out of school young people.

Officers say instructors confronted Johnnie Jones of Bloomington after receiving an anonymous tip about the gun. Jones relinquished the 45 caliber Ruger semi automatic and was later arrested.
