Streiker's arrest is for a burglary to a business in Marceline, Illinois in September of 2021, resulting in damage to the business and the theft of cash.

19 year old Zarious Smith-Palmer is charged with armed violence, aggravated use of a weapon, possession of a controlled substance and an unrelated warrant.

Smith-Palmer's arrest came as the result of a traffic stop at 5th and Maine. A search uncovered a loaded handgun, which will be submitted for testing to see if it is connected to recent shooting incidents.

27 year old DuQuan Smiley is charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, and 19 year old Xavier Clark is charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance and an unrelated warrant.
