Crimo Jr. arrived at the Lake County courthouse wearing a shirt with letters reading, "I'm a political pawn." The back said, "Laws, facts, reality."
He's charged with reckless conduct for helping his son, Robert "Bobby" Crimo III, get a firearm owners' ID.
There's no trial date yet for his son, who allegedly killed seven people and injured 50 others during Highland Park's Fourth of July parade in 2022.
