A Naperville man charged in connection with the shooting of another man is being released on GPS monitoring as he awaits trial.
Jermaine Badie, 18, appeared in court Thursday facing charges of aggravated battery with discharge of a machine gun and unlawful possession of a machine gun, both classified as Class X felonies. If convicted, Badie could face 12 to 45 years in prison.The charges stem from an incident on Monday in which Naperville police responded to reports of a gunshot victim in the 100 block of Testa Drive around 8:48 p.m.
Authorities said Badie then fled the scene and was later found nearby by officers."The allegation that Jermaine Badie pulled out a fully automatic weapon and shot a man in the chest following a fight that did not even involve him is outrageous," DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. "Violent crimes committed with the use of firearms will not be tolerated in DuPage County.
