Batavia man charged in cocaine bust

A Batavia man has been charged with multiple drug offenses after selling cocaine to an undercover police officer, authorities said.

Dareon C. Dean, 20, of the 1200 block of East Wilson Street, was charged Wednesday with cocaine possession and delivery, and delivery of a look-alike substance.

Dean is accused in court documents of selling less than one gram of cocaine to a Batavia police officer and dealing look-alike substances in November.

If convicted of the most serious charge, Dean could be sentenced to four to 15 years in prison or probation. He was being held in the Kane County jail Thursday with bail set at $35,000, pending a court appearance Friday.

In 2007, Dean was convicted of mob action in Kane County and sentenced to 18 months in prison, court records show.
