A Skokie woman faces weapons charges after police say they discovered two rifles in her SUV during a traffic check in Maine Township last week.
Around 9:20 p.m. on Oct. 27, Cook County Sheriff’s officers stopped a silver Toyota SUV in the 9200 block of West Golf Road for expired tags.
Officers identified the driver as Mary Zeia, 46, who allegedly had two active Cook County warrants: one for driving with a suspended registration and another for driving with a suspended license.
According to authorities, Zeia initially refused to exit the vehicle before being detained and taken out. During a search before towing the SUV, deputies discovered two firearms and a loaded magazine inside.
According to investigators, Zeia did not have an FOID card or a concealed carry license. She has been charged with aggravated unauthorized possession of a weapon.
Zeia appeared in bond court on October 28 at the Skokie Courthouse, where a judge ordered her release from custody pending trial.
