A Chicago man faces a felony weapons charge after he allegedly shot a gun outside a hotel in Skokie, according to Skokie police.
Reginald Terrell Boclair, 26, of the 6600 block of South Claremont Avenue, Chicago, was charged Feb. 29 with aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with an incident that occurred nearly two weeks prior in the parking lot of a DoubleTree Hotel on the southeast corner of Skokie Boulevard and Golf Road, according to a news release from the department.
Police responded on Feb. 20 to a report of shots fired outside the hotel and upon arriving discovered that all the individuals involved had fled the scene, the release states. Police said no one was injured in the incident.
Skokie police investigated the case with assistance from the Evanston and Lincolnwood police departments, according to the release.
Skokie Police Sgt. John Moersfelder said he was unaware whether Boclair had any gang ties nor was he able to provide an information regarding the cause of the incident.
Boclair appeared in court on Tuesday and his bond was set at $50,000 and ordered home monitoring, according to the release. He is due back in court on March 24 at 10:30 a.m.
