Five arrested in Cary drug sweep

Three separate investigations targeting suspected narcotics activity in Cary came to a head Friday with the arrests of five village residents on felony drug charges.

The charges, spanning from a Class X felony against an accused LSD dealer to allegations of heroin possession and marijuana delivery, are the result of a joint effort from McHenry County Sheriff's Office and Cary police.

"Cary had some ongoing issues and asked if we could do anything to help," said Sgt. John Koziol, who heads the sheriff's narcotics unit. "We were able to develop some information, and we worked really closely with them on these cases."

Among those arrested was Patrick J. O'Donnell, 19, of the 600 block of Cary Woods, on two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance (LSD), and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. He remained in custody at the county jail Monday, unable to post $10,000 cash bond pending a Friday court date. If found guilty of the most serious delivery charge O'Donnell would face a mandatory six to 30 years in prison.

According to sheriff's police, also arrested were:

• Dylan J. Drewes, 18, of the 300 block of Park Avenue. He is charged with two counts of unlawful delivery of cannabis and two counts of unlawful possession of cannabis. He is free on a $2,000 bond.

• Steven J. Weiser, 43, of the 100 block of East Sunset Drive. He is charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a hypodermic syringe and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. He is in custody on $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
