Naperville police say there have been 11 gun-related arrests at the parking lot for Naperville’s TopGolf facility since September, the most recent occurring over the weekend.
Reports initially indicated the Saturday arrest would have been the eighth, but Cmdr. Ricky Krakow said in an email Tuesday that “we did some digging” and counted 11 gun-related arrests at the 3211 Odyssey Court venue over the past six months.

In the most recent case, Clarence Lamont Massey Jr., 24, of Chicago, was taken into custody about 8:25 p.m. and charged with aggravated unlawful use of weapons, according to police arrest logs.
Krakow couldn’t give more details on the case because the officer’s report was still pending as of Tuesday, he said.
Since the string of gun-related arrests at TopGolf started last fall, the Sun had reported there had been seven prior to Massey Jr.’s on Saturday.
Over a two-month period starting in September, police made four separate but similar gun busts at the business — all resulting from an officer spotting a gun through a car window while doing a foot patrol of the parking lot.
After the fourth reported incident, police said they were working with TopGolf officials to keep a close eye on safety.
Then, on New Year’s Eve, police made yet another gun-related arrest there.
Two more followed in February, starting with 34-year-old Joshua Ramon Menson, of Gary, who was arrested for unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon on Feb. 18, again by an officer on foot patrol who spotted a gun inside Menson’s car at the Odyssey Court lot.
Last week — four days prior to Massey Jr.’s arrest — police arrested 31-year-old Antwan Donete Lee, of Chicago, for a same similar chain of events and charged him with aggravated unlawful use of weapons.
Authorities have said they have no reason to believe the incidents are related.
