Oak Brook, Illinois – A DuPage County judge has ordered a convicted felon held in pretrial detention following an Oak Brook arrest that resulted in the seizure of two firearms and the recovery of a stolen vehicle.
According to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, Michael Addison, 39, of Chicago, appeared in First Appearance Court where Judge Joshua Dieden granted the state’s motion to detain him pretrial. Addison is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a repeat felony offender, a Class X felony, along with additional felony charges related to firearms and motor vehicle theft.
Authorities said Addison was arrested Jan. 14 after Oak Brook Police responded to a reported theft from a Target store located at 7601 Kingery Highway. Investigators allege Addison exited the store carrying merchandise without paying and fled in a black 2023 Ford Maverick pickup truck that had been reported stolen.
Police said officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but Addison allegedly fled, leading officers onto Route 83 and later Interstate 88. The pursuit ended near York Road, where Addison allegedly abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot before being taken into custody following a brief pursuit.
During a search of the stolen vehicle, police allegedly recovered two firearms, including one loaded handgun, along with additional evidence connected to the theft investigation. Authorities said Addison was already on electronic monitoring at the time of his arrest and had an outstanding warrant from DuPage County.
Prosecutors argued Addison posed a threat to public safety due to his criminal history, which includes prior felony convictions. Judge Dieden ordered Addison detained pending trial.
Addison’s next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 2.
For commuters and shoppers in the Oak Brook and Kingery Highway corridor, police emphasized that coordinated enforcement efforts remain focused on deterring repeat offenders and protecting public safety.
All charges are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
