Robert Crimo Jr. is charged with seven counts of felony reckless conduct connected to his sponsoring his son's FOID card application.
-- The father of the alleged gunman in the Highland Park July 4th parade massacre earlier this year is now facing charges.
Each count of felony reckless conduct carries up to three years in prison – but these would likely served concurrently for a total sentence of three years, Rinehart said. Rinehart said Crimo Jr."took a reckless and unjustified risk when he decided on December 19, 2019, to sign his son's application for a Firearm Owners Identification card.""Parents and guardians are in the best position to decide whether their teenager should have a weapon. They are the first line of defense. In this case, that system failed when Robert Crimo Jr. sponsored his son. He knew what he knew, and he signed the form anyway," Rinehart said.
Rinehart said Friday that despite the fact that State Police approved the FOID application for Crimo III, Crimo Jr. has been charged with reckless conduct for sponsoring his son for a FOID card with the information he himself had about his son's background.
