A Northern Illinois University student is under arrest.
Kevin Ouwenga, 29, was taken into custody after police found guns and body armor in his dorm at New Hall West.
Investigators say a school worker was sorting mail at the residence hall, that's when she found a package carrying gun parts. The package was addressed to Ouwenga. After searching his room, NIU police found an unassembled AR-15 rifle, a handgun, and ammo.
Ouwenga does have a FOID card. Still, he's charged with unlawful possession of a stored weapon and could receive up to five years in prison. NIU says no guns are allowed on campus.
