Bartlett man charged with being sent drugs by mail

A 19-year-old Bartlett man was charged with drug offenses after his arrest Wednesday.

Kevin Mucha of the 200 block of North Hale was charged with a felony for controlled substance trafficking and a misdemeanor for attempted possession of marijuana, authorities said.

On July 2, Bartlett police executed a search warrant of a home on the 900 block of Foster Avenue. Police further investigated Mucha, who was at the home when the search occurred, and said they learned that illegal drugs were being sent to his post office box in Roselle.

On July 19, Bartlett police and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service executed search warrants on two suspicious packages sent to Mucha from California. Officers said they seized marijuana and a counterfeit substance of Alprazolam.

Mucha was brought to a hearing at the DuPage County courthouse in Wheaton, where his bail was set at $25,000. His next court date is Sept. 24.
