Second Alton Felon Charged After Armed Altercation At Oakwood Estates

ALTON – Another convicted felon from Alton was charged last week for their alleged involvement in an “armed altercation” at Oakwood Estates.

Radley D. Berry, 32, of Alton was charged on Nov. 2, 2026, with a Class 3 felony count of felon in possession of a weapon and a Class A misdemeanor count of resisting a peace officer.

On Oct. 31, 2026, Berry was allegedly in possession of a black semi-automatic handgun. The weapon was illegal for Berry to possess as a felon convicted in 2018 of aggravated discharge of a firearm in Madison County.

Berry is also accused of resisting being detained by an Alton Police officer on the same day by repeatedly pulling away from the officer.

A petition to deny Berry’s pretrial release from custody was filed by the Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office. The petition states Berry was involved in an armed altercation at Oakwood Estates, during which he “brandished a firearm in a threatening manner, repeatedly pointing it aggressively.”

“The altercation was captured on video surveillance,” the petition states. “Defendant is visible on camera, actively engaging in the altercation, removing his shirt indicating an intent to fight, while wearing two different shoes. Officers located defendant shortly after the incident, still wearing the same mismatched shoes.”

The Alton Police Department presented the latest case against Berry, who currently remains in custody at the Madison County Jail.

Another Alton resident, 38-year-old James C. Holman, was charged on the same day with one count each of possession of a firearm by a repeat felony offender (a Class X felony), aggravated discharge of a firearm (a Class 1 felony) and reckless discharge of a firearm (a Class 4 felony).

Charging documents state Holman brandished a firearm during an armed altercation at Oakwood Estates on Oct. 31, 2026, before firing the weapon towards a group of people. More details are available in this story on Riverbender.com.

All individuals charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
