Man charged with entering 10th District station lobby faces multiple felony charges

CHICAGO (CBS)-- A 43-year-old man has been charged with walking into the Chicago Police Department's Ogden (10th) District station and pointing a gun at officers.

Terick Bland of Maywood is charged with five felony counts of aggravated assault of a police officer and one felony assault charge of using a deadly weapon. His bail was set at $200,000 at a bond hearing Friday afternoon. He is due back in court on Oct. 14.

Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said Bland entered the station with a plastic bag wrapped around his hand Wednesday. It appeared to officers that the barrel of a gun was protruding from the bag. 

The weapon was later determined to be a .117 caliber BB pistol, the civilian police oversight board  said in a news release on Friday. 

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) said the gun was in a plastic bag and Bland pointed it at officers.  After the officers told Bland to drop the weapon, three of them fired their guns, COPA said.  The exchange was captured on police body-worn cameras, which will be released within 60 days. 

Brown said the suspect shouted and expressed "anti-police sentiments" at officers, although he declined to give more details on what the person said.

Brown added that multiple officers drew and fired their weapon, hitting the Bland at least once in the shoulder.

Bland was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
