Durk was arrested after Chicago gang officers went to a home in Orland Park about 5 a.m. Wednesday while investigating an unrelated homicide, according to the arrest report.



A woman who answered the door let them in, and the officers saw Banks standing in the living room near the kitchen island.



Police seized a Glock .45-caliber handgun with a magazine and 11 live rounds and a Springfield .45-caliber handgun with a magazine and 13 live rounds, the police report said. It was not clear if there were rounds in the chambers of the guns.



The officers knew Banks was a convicted felon and placed him under arrest, the report said. He was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.



Banks last appeared in a courtroom in August, when he pleaded guilty to gun possession charges and was given probation.



"The key word is I'll be staying out of trouble," Banks told the Tribune after the hearing. "You can put a capital 'N' — for never."



Banks had faced up to five years in prison after Chicago police saw him toss a loaded Glock handgun into a car parked in the Englewood neighborhood in 2013. He was on parole at the time for another gun charge.



According to prosecutors, Chicago police responded to a call of a person with a gun about 3 a.m. June 5, 2013, in the 7200 block of South Green Street. Officers saw Banks toss a handgun through the open window of a parked Hyundai Sonata and walk away quickly, authorities said.



The gun — a blue steel Glock 9mm with 14 live rounds — was found in the back seat. A records search showed the gun was reported stolen April 10, 2013, according to a police report.



Prosecutors had recommended Banks receive at least a year in prison or a term of intensive probation, but Judge Joseph Kazmierski Jr. sentenced him to 18 months of probation and the 43 days Banks had already spent in jail.



The judge urged Banks to be "part of the cure," saying the rapper could continue to use his celebrity status for anti-violence causes. Kazmierski also ordered Banks to do 50 hours of community service at CureViolence at the University of Illinois at Chicago.



At the time of his arrest on Green Street, Banks was weeks away from finishing parole on a conviction for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. In that case, he was caught in the 6400 block of South Eggleston Avenue on Oct. 9, 2011, with a gun that had its serial numbers defaced, records show.



Signed with Def Jam records, Banks said in August he planned to rap about his experience with the criminal justice system on an album titled, "Remember My Name."
