Officers reportedly found Terrence T. Mading, 18, of Bristol, in possession of cannabis. Further searching revealed two .380 semi-automatic pistols and a .22 revolver, all loaded, underneath a back seat where Mading and a 17-year-old were sitting.

The 17-year-old was charged with four counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and taken to the youth home. Mading was charged with two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and he was taken to the county jail.

The 22-year-old male driver, from Oswego, and the 20-year-old male front seat passenger, from Bristol, were released without charges.

Kane County Court records indicate that Mading is due in court on February 9.
