What follows is a press release that was sent to the media over the weekend. I am very proud of the Police Department.On July 7, 2006 at 6:55 p.m., during a joint operation of the Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Group (LCMEG) and the Round Lake Police Department, Astrit A. Roboci of Chicago, IL was arrested for delivering more than fifteen pounds of cannabis to undercover police officers.
The suspect was arrested on Kristina Lane in Round Lake for Unlawful Possession with Intent to Deliver 7,114 grams of Cannabis, which is a Class X felony punishable by 6-30 years in prison and up to $200,000 in fines. The estimated street value of the drugs is $71,000. Roboci was remanded to the custody of the Lake County Jail on a $150,000 cash bond pending a court date of July 14, 2006.
“The Round Lake Police Department is proud to work with Lake County MEG and the fruits of this new relationship are already evident. This arrest involved a considerable amount of cannabis that no doubt would have been re-sold to people in the Round Lake Area. The Round Lake Police Department and Lake County MEG will continue to take a zero tolerance stance on drugs and gangs.” said Police Chief Cliff Metaxa.
