JOLIET, IL — A 23-year-old Joliet man who lives in the 500 block of East Benton Street was arrested by Joliet police on felony gun charges following an incident at an east side bar over the weekend.

By 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, Joliet police delivered Keenen Curl to the Will County Jail where he was booked on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful possession of ammunition, not having a FOID card and marijuana possession, police reports show.

Shortly before midnight on Friday, Joliet squad cars rolled up to the Los Tres Hermanos bar at 670 Jackson St. for a disturbance call and officers located Curl in the parking lot.
