A McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy was traveling on Illinois Route 120 when he observed a disabled vehicle partially in the roadway.
The deputy conducted an exterior K-9 sniff of the vehicle, which alerted to the presence of narcotics.
The vehicle was searched, and narcotics were found inside.
Gilbert was also searched, revealing more narcotics on his person.
In total, Gilbert possessed over 31 grams of heroin.
Gilbert was subsequently arrested and charged.
McHenry County State’s Attorney, Patrick D. Kenneally, recognizes the thoroughness and detailed investigative work of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department. Their diligence led to a successful prosecution, thanks to the hard work of McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney Fara Momen.
