North Aurora 18-year-old accused of selling more than a pound of marijuana

An 18-year-old from North Aurora is accused of selling at least a pound of marijuana to undercover officers, according to court records.

Krisada M. Cheung, of the 200 block of Lincolnway Street, faces four felony drug charges and a misdemeanor charge after his arrest Friday, records show.

If convicted of the most serious charge, manufacture/delivery of between 500 and 2,000 grams of marijuana, he could face up to seven years in prison.

A pound contains nearly 454 grams; Cheung is accused of selling at least 500 grams.

According to court documents filed over the weekend, Cheung is accused of selling the drugs to an undercover officer. The North Central Narcotics Task Force, which is a division of the Illinois State Police, is the main charging agency.

Additional information from the task force was not available Monday.

According to court documents, Cheung also is accused of delivering to undercover officers between 30 and 500 grams of marijuana; delivering 10 to 30 grams to undercover officers, and delivering between 2.5 and 10 grams to undercover officers.

It was not clear if there were four separate drug buys or just one large transaction.

He also is accused of possession of a controlled substance, in this case psilocybin, which is another name for hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Cheung is free on bond and due in court Aug. 8.
