Loves Park Police arrest two Rockford men on gun charges

On Friday evening, Loves Park Police were dispatched to the Mobil gas station at E. Riverside Blvd. and Clifford Ave., after an observant member of the community called police.

When officers arrived, they met with two men in a vehicle. During the encounter, officers searched the vehicle, and a loaded hand gun and other items were recovered from the vehicle.

Javaghn D. Cooper, 25, of Rockford, was charged with Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Felon and No F.O.I.D. Card. A passenger in the vehicle, Charles B. Davis, 23, also of Rockford, was arrested on two misdemeanor drug and paraphernalia charges.

These charges are merely allegations, and the defendants are considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
