About 47 pounds of marijuana were reportedly seized during a raid on a north suburban Lake Villa residence.
Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Grop officials said Thursday the raid was conducted Monday in the 25000 block of Lehmann Boulevard following an investigation that began in early May, when agents reportedly developed information about “a large amount of drugs” coming out of the residence.
Along with the marijuana, which carries an estimated street value of $70,500, authorities said they seized eight ounces of cocaine, which has an estimated street value of $12,000.
Arrested and charged with three Class X felony charges each were 37-year-old Jason M. Keeley, who lived in the residence; 41-year-old Manuel Mata, of McHenry; and 29-year-old Jennifer Hroma, of Lake Villa.
All three were charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver; unlawful possession of cannabis with intent to deliver; and three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
