November 23, 2011 Alert off-duty security leads police to drug bust www.privateofficer.com
BELVIDERE IL Nov 23 2011 — An alert off-duty security guard whose wife told him about a suspicious vehicle in front of the apartment complex where they live is being credited for the arrests of four teenagers, three from Chicago, on drug charges Sunday night.
When the security guard checked on the car, he called in Belvidere police, who made the arrests in the 1700 block of Willow Brook Drive.
Juan Gonzalez-Reyes, 19, of Chicago was charged with one count of unlawful possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance (cocaine, a Class 1 felony), unlawful possession of alcohol and unlawful consumption of alcohol.
Juan Pablo Garcia, 17, of Belvidere faces the same charges. Both are in the Boone County Jail with no bond.
Also arrested for unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of alcohol and curfew violation were two female juveniles from Chicago. They were released to their parents.
“The Police Department is extremely grateful for the extra effort that was put in motion by the off-duty security officer, who also stood by as an expert witness,” Chief Jan Noble said. “Because of his initiative, these people aren’t able to deal their illicit drugs tonight.”
A Class 1 felony is punishable by four to 15 years in the Department of Corrections.
The Belvidere Police Department encourages anyone having information on a crime, suspicious activity or narcotic trafficking to call the department at 815-544-2135 or Crime Stoppers at 815-547-7867.
