Two Wauconda residents are facing multiple marijuana-related charges following an investigation by Illinois State Police over several months.

Andrew H. Field, 53, and Emily A. Coleman, 28, are both charged with unlawful possession of cannabis with intent to deliver over 5,000 grams, manufacturing and delivery of cannabis over 5,000 grams and calculated criminal conspiracy.

The pair initially came under scrutiny in November 2024 when authorities were tipped off about an illegal marijuana-growing operating inside a Lakemoor warehouse. Following a raid there, Field and Coleman were identified as suspects.

Earlier this month, authorities searched Milk and Honey Farm in Wauconda and arrested the pair in the wake of the raid.

They were granted pretrial release after appearing at a detention hearing McHenry County.

Tuesday, additional charges were added, state police said. The investigation remains ongoing.
