Aurora Police secured numerous felonies through the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office on a 45-year-old Aurora man after executing a search warrant November 29.
Samuel U. Jones of the 100 block of N. Farnsworth Avenue stands charged with two counts each of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. He is charged with single counts of armed violence and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Three of the felonies are classified as Class-X and call for enhanced prison time upon conviction.
The search warrant, which was executed at about 6:45 p.m. November 29 by members of Aurora Police Special Operations, Community Policing and K-9 Units, resulted in the seizure of a handgun, almost eight grams of heroin, 29 ecstasy pills, more than $1,000 in cash, and two vehicles. The contraband was found either in the seized vehicles parked at his residence, or in Jones’ possession.
Jones was being held in lieu of $200,000 bail at the Kane County Jail in St. Charles.
The charges are not proof of guilt. Jones is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which it is the burden of the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
