WHEATON, Ill. (WGN) – Three men from suburban Chicago are facing serious felony charges after allegedly planning to impersonate law enforcement officers at several political protests over the weekend.

Jonathan Capp, 22, from Wheaton, Andrew Knight, 24, from Darien, and Cole Sarros, 26, from Woodridge, have been charged with conspiracy to falsely impersonate a peace officer and unlawful possession of ammunition without a Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card.

The trio appeared in DuPage County court on Monday and were released pending trial, as the charges they face are classified as non-detainable offenses.
