2 Men With Heroin Arrested In Channahon: Complaint

CHANNAHON, IL — Police officers across Will County remain vigilant in their efforts to end the heroin epidemic that has plagued Will County in recent years. On Sunday night, Channahon's Police Department arrested two men from Pontiac, Ill., in connection with allegations that they possessed a substance containing heroin within the Channahon community, court records show.

The two men, Scott Brazzale, 31, and Christopher Kallas, 37, were taken away in handcuffs by Channahon officers and delivered to the Will County Jail around 10 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12.

Channahon Police told Patch that the two men were pulled over during a routine traffic stop after the pair made an improper turn against the red light at the Channahon exit for Route 6. There's a big sign on the stoplight alerting motorists that it is illegal to make turn while the light is red.

As a result of the traffic stop, the Channahon Police discovered that the two Pontiac men were in possession of heroin, police told Patch.

Bail for Kallas was set at $30,000 while bail for his younger acquaintance from Pontiac, Brazzale, was set at $25,000. The distance from Pontiac to Channahon is 51 miles.

As of Tuesday night, the two Pontiac men remained in their Will County Jail cells unable to post 10 percent of their respective bails, jail logs indicate.

This week, the co-defendants were charged by the Will County State's Attorney's Office with unlawful possession of a controlled substance. It's a felony offense.
