Home of former Bear Tank Johnson

One of the more infamous legal cases regarding a pro athlete in Chicago in recent history took place in this Gurnee home. In Dec. of 2006, Lake County police officers raided this home of former Bear defensive lineman Tank Johnson and found six firearms and two assault rifles, some of which were loaded while there were children in the home. Johnson's bodyguard Willie Posey was arrested during the raid for alleged possession of marijuana. Just two days later, Posey was gunned down in a River North night club. Johnson would eventually plead guilty to a misdemeanor weapons charge in connection with the raid and served jail time. After being pulled over for drunken driving in Arizona in the summer of 2007, the Bears finally cut Johnson, who has since gone on to sign with the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals.
