GURNEE, Ill. (AP) - Court documents show that police seized about 550 rounds of ammunition from the home of Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson during a raid last month.

The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald today reports that the ammunition was discovered in Johnson's kitchen, basement, garage and bedroom.

Police also found six guns -- including a semi-automatic rifle with 19 live rounds in the master bedroom and a loaded .45-caliber handgun under a leather chair in the basement.

Johnson is charged with six counts of possession of a firearm without a gun-owner identification card.

Two days after the raid, his friend and bodyguard, Willie B. -osey, was shot to death during an early morning fight at a night club in Chicago.

Johnson's next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.
