Lakemoor resident [NAME REDACTED], formerly [NAME REDACTED], 42, of the block of [ADDRESS REDACTED] is facing felony charges for falsifying a Firearm Owner’s Identification card application after he legally changed his name in 2015. Under a new identity, [NAME REDACTED], applied for a FOID card and answered “no” when asked whether he had been convicted of a felony.
