Appeal from the Circuit Court of Stephenson County. Honorable Charles R. Hartman, Judge, Presiding. The jury found him not guilty of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. The trial court sentenced him to concurrent terms of 18 years' imprisonment for armed violence and 10 years' imprisonment for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. No sentence was imposed for the charge of unlawful use of a weapon as it was deemed to be a lesser included offense.
Defendant presents three issues on appeal.
Last, he alleges that the court erred when it imposed an extended-term sentence for the unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. There were five people in the car, two in the front and three in the rear. While the deputy was processing a warning ticket, he noticed that one of the backseat passengers seemed to be very nervous. The man, who was later identified as defendant, Ellis Williams, kept turning around and moving around in his seat. When the officer asked defendant his name, defendant told him his name was Michael Williams.
