Two Carpentersville men arrested on drug, fake ID charges

Two Carpentersville men were arrested Thursday evening on charges they had drugs and fraudulent identification cards in their possession.

Omar A. Martinez-Prado, 26, of the 300 block of Tee Lane, Carpentersville, was charged with the manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of a fraudulent identification card, police said.

Julio Prado-Medina, 34, of the same address, was charged with possession of a fraudulent identification card, police said.

Police entered the home at 8:13 p.m. Thursday and found in a bedroom 6.68 grams of cocaine on a dresser, 1.17 grams of loose cocaine, 202.72 grams of marijuana and $643 in currency in other parts of the room. Another 8.14 grams of cocaine was found in a vehicle, police said.

Martinez-Prado had a fraudulent identification card bearing the name of Alejandro Flores in his possession. Police said he admitted the cocaine, marijuana and money in the home and car were his.

Police said he posed a flight risk because he is in the United States illegally.

A fraudulent Social Security card with the name of Nelson O. Negron was located on Prado-Martinez, police said.

The bonds set on Friday were $10,000 for Martinez-Prado and $500 for Prado-Medina. Neither man was able to post bond and both were taken to the Kane County jail Friday morning. Kane County Judge John Noverini scheduled the court dates for Prado-Medina on Feb. 2 and for Matinez-Prado on Feb. 13.
