Carpentersville man is charged in drug raid

Three men were arrested and 37 grams of cocaine were seized at 6:50 p.m. Friday when Carpentersville police entered a home with a search warrant, authorities said.

One of the residents, Gary Lagunis, 24, of 113 Madeira Circle, Carpentersville, was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of a controlled substance, according to court records.

Lagunis had been wanted previously on a warrant for charges of Class X felony delivery of a controlled substance, delivery of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance, police said.

Two other men in the home were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents; their names haven't been released, police said.

Lagunis said in court Saturday that he was employed in a warehouse, was not on probation or parole and was not a citizen of the United States.

Kane County Judge Susan Clancy Boles said if Lagunis is convicted of any or all of the charges, it might affect his status in this country.

The bonds for the five charges against Lagunis were set at a total of 10 percent of $500,000.

He was unable to post bond and was taken to the Kane County jail.

His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 22 in the courtroom of Judge Patricia Golden at the Kane County Judicial Center.
