Robert Crimo Jr. will be arraigned Thursday morning on seven counts of felony reckless conduct.
-- The father of the accused gunman in the Highland Park July 4th parade massacre has been indicted by a Lake County grand jury for sponsoring his son's Firearm Owners Identification card application.He is accused of sponsoring his son's FOID card application just three months after a September 2019 incident in which police were called to the family's home, because the younger Crimo was threatening to"kill everyone" with a collection of knives and swords.
Gomez said his defense will center around parents overall not being responsible for the actions of their adult children. The charges were brought on the grounds that Crimo Jr."signed, as a sponsor, the parent/legal guardian FOID card affidavit, allowing his son, Robert Crimo III, to obtain a FOID card he was not otherwise allowed to obtain, and consenting to Robert Crimo III to possess and acquire firearms and firearm ammunition with said FOID card."
Highland Park police officers had asked Illinois State Police for a Clear and Present danger designation for Crimo III after the September 2019 incident, but State Police did not grant the designation. CBS 2 Legal Analyst Irv Miller has said the move to charge the parent of an accused gunman is not out of the ordinary.
