One man was arrested by DeKalb police twice within a three-hour period for two separate incidents.

Jason Berry, 21, of Chicago, was arrested first at The Dungeon, 1029 Hillcrest Drive, at 11 p.m. Saturday, according to DeKalb police reports.

Berry was arrested and charged with fighting in the city after a fight took place outside of the club. According to police reports, Damen Johnson, 21, of Rockford, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and aggravated battery at the same incident.

The Dungeon owner David Hana said the capacity of the club, 500 people, was exceeded and at some time during the night, there was as many as 1,500 people outside the club.

“Inside, everyone was having fun,” Hana said. “Outside, people were getting anxious. We weren’t expecting this many people.”

Hana said the people outside rushed the doors of the club. Fights had broken out outside of the club and security was maxed out.

DeKalb police Sgt. Wes Hoadley said DeKalb responded with about 11 officers as well as units from University Police, DeKalb County Sheriff’s police and state police, some of whom had to be pulled off the tollway.

Hoadley attributed the quickness of Berry’s release to the nature of his original alleged offense.

Fighting in the city is a city ordinance and “city ordinances go through [the system] quickly,” Hoadley said.

Berry’s second arrest took place less than three hours later at 1:22 a.m. Sunday at Harold’s Chicken Shack, 901 Lucinda Drive.

Berry was arrested and charged with unlawful use of weapons, unlawful use of weapons without a Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card and resisting a peace officer. Michelle Lyle, 20, of Evanston, was arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer at the Harold’s Chicken incident.

An employee of Harold’s Chicken, who wished to remain unidentified, said somebody had called the police and told them Berry had a firearm and was at Harold’s Chicken.

The employee went on to say that when DeKalb police grabbed Berry, the gun fell out.

Hoadley said he was not sure how Berry got the firearm, but he got it sometime after his first arrest.
