Naperville police have yet again made a firearm-related arrest in the Naperville Topgolf parking lot. There have now been 10 such arrests in or near the business’ lot this year.
Roberto Chacon, 28, of Alsip, was taken into custody outside the 3211 Odyssey Court facility on a felony charge of aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon as well as one charge each of possession of cannabis and unlawful use of cannabis by a driver. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 26, according to DuPage County Circuit Court records.
Officers were performing a proactive foot patrol of the Naperville Topgolf lot when they observed suspected drugs and a handgun in plain view inside a parked, unoccupied Honda, according to Naperville police spokeswoman Kelley Munch.
Officers watched the vehicle until three occupants returned, Munch said. The cannabis and loaded handgun were recovered.
After a nearly four-month break, gun-related arrests outside the facility started up again in early February. Last month alone, police made five such arrests in the business’ lot.
Ahead of this year, Naperville police made 25 arrests on gun-related offenses outside Topgolf between August 2023 and October 2024.

Alongside Chacon’s arrest, an investigation is also underway after a 33-year-old Chicago man allegedly elbowed an officer in the Topgolf lot, according to Munch.
Danzel Swift was taken into custody late Saturday night and charged with aggravated battery to a police officer, possession of open alcohol by a passenger and unlawful possession of cannabis by a passenger.
Officers were on a proactive patrol of the lot when they observed four subjects drinking out of cups in the Topgolf lot, Munch said. When officers later approached, they observed the cups, a liquor bottle and a firearm case in plain view inside a vehicle.
Officers made contact with the subjects, which resulted in the arrest of Swift. While he was being taken into custody, Swift allegedly elbowed an officer in the face, Munch said. A firearm was also ultimately seized and a follow-up investigation regarding the ownership of the gun is underway, Munch said.
Swift’s next court appearance is scheduled for June 16.
