Just what the Bears need: another defensive starter out. ESPN.com reports:

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson was charged Thursday with not having a gun owner identification card after six firearms were found at his Gurnee home.

The misdemeanor charge carries a penalty of up to a year in jail upon conviction, said Jeff Pavletic, first assistant state's attorney in Lake County.

Bears' Johnson hit with confinement, travel limits

I can just imagine the Chicago deejay's reading this story with the "gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now" jingle playing in the background.

Hope Tank remembers to go before leaving for work...

Bears' Johnson hit with confinement, travel limits

A Cook County judge set bond at $100,000 for Bears defensive lineman Terry "Tank" Johnson and also ordered 24-hour home confinement for the trouble-prone player who appeared at a hearing this morning to answer allegations that he violated his probation on a 2005 gun charge.

Judge John J. Moran told Johnson that he can leave his home to travel to work, but that someone else must drive him. "Absolutely no stops. Not for a drink, not for a sandwich, not even for a drive-thru," Moran said.
