Beach Park man held on $2 million bail

A Beach Park man is being held in the Lake County jail on a $2 million bail after being picked up on a warrant for weapon, drug and battery charges, police said Thursday.

Raymundo Acosta, 27, of the 38400 block of North Sheridan Road, failed to appear in court on charges related to a Waukegan investigation, and a $250,000 warrant was issued for his arrest, the Lake County sheriff's office said.

Members of the sheriff's office's warrant team, the U.S. Marshals Service and Waukegan police located Acosta at his listed address and arrested him Wednesday without incident.

Acosta was found with four loaded firearms and more than 20 grams of cocaine and cannabis, police said. He faces additional charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, and four counts unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

He's expected in court again at 10:30 a.m. May 8.
