An East Galesburg man is held on $200,000 bond after a meth investigation led to his arrest Monday for a series of possession and manufacturing charges.
The Knox County Sheriff’s Department says in a news release officers executed a “no knock” search warrant at about 5 a.m. Monday and took 41-year-old Dallas L. Charles into custody.
Members of the Knox County Sheriff’s and Galesburg Police departments, Illinois State Police Meth and Tactical response teams, Secretary of State Bomb Unit and Galesburg Hospitals’ Ambulance Service assisted in making entry to the East Galesburg residence.
Officers recovered items consistent with the manufacturing of meth in addition to a substance that field tested as crystal meth.
Charles is charged with production and possession of 15 to 100 grams of meth, possession of meth manufacturing materials and other meth-related charges.
His next court date is at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
