Man Who Ran Car Into Church Now Faces Drug Charges

CRYSTAL LAKE, IL – A 22-year-old Huntley man who was convicted of running his car into a Crystal Lake church in 2015 now faces drug charges. Jonathan K. Jordan, of the 10000 block of Cindy Jo Avenue in Huntley, was arrested at about 1:45 a.m. on Thursday by the North Central Narcotics Task Force branch of the Illinois State Police, according to the Northwest Herald.

He is accused of providing 4.6 grams of a powdery white substance that contained cocaine to another person in January, according to the article. Jordan has been charged with manufacturing/delivery of cocaine and possession of a controlled substance. He was released from the McHenry County Jail after posting bond Thursday morning.

In 2015, a car smashed through the wall of Hope Covenant Church, 451 Ackman Road in Crystal Lake, at 8:37 p.m. on Aug. 1. Jordan was later charged with reckless driving after he lost control of his 1999 Toyota Solara, which then smashed into the building, the Northwest Herald reports.
