Federal agents and Illinois State Police raided the multimillion-dollar Lake Forest home of a commodities trader Thursday morning to seize at least 85 illegal guns, law enforcement sources said. The homeowner, Benjamin Stevens, 49, was arrested and charged with multiple felony counts of possessing a firearm with a revoked Firearm Owner Identification card, Lake County prosecutors said. Stevens was charged in March with misdemeanor domestic battery in Lake County after he allegedly pushed his teenage son and wife and struck his teenage daughter. In court records, Stevens said he owns Benjamin & Jerold, a Chicago commodities brokerage with an office on Jackson Boulevard in the Loop . Stevens’ home sits on a secluded two-lane road lined with multimillion-dollar mansions on sprawling lots in the western part of Lake Forest.
