FRANKFORT, IL — A New Lenox man was arrested and charged by Frankfort Police Department after officers found cocaine on his person and ammunition in his car where he was parked at Commissioners Park on Aug. 14, police said. Michael Kadar, 29, was charged with unlawful possession of firearm ammunition by a convicted felon, unlawful possession of firearm ammunition with revoked FOID and possession of controlled substance.

According to police, an officer conducted a check of Commissioners Park at 8:50 p.m. Aug. 14 to ensure no one was remaining on the premises while the park was closed. The officer saw a silver Honda CRV parked near the tennis courts and skate park.

Police said the officer approached the car and found it unoccupied. However, the officer could see a vaporizer cartridge in the center console cup holder. The cartridge contained a yellow-ish, brown liquid, which appeared to be a cannabis-based oil. The officer could also see two small pieces of plastic bag, each tied in a knot.

The officer walked to the skate park, and saw a man, now identified as Kadar, standing on a skateboard ramp in the dark. According to police, the officer told him the park was closed and Kadar said he was unaware. While speaking, the officer noticed Kadar's speech was slow, slurred and deliberate. Kadar was also unsteady on his feet and his pupils were constricted.

Police said Kadar admitted to smoking cannabis earlier. The officer performed a search of the vehicle and recovered .5 grams of cannabis, one box containing 22 Winchester 12 gauge shotgun rounds, one box containing 49 Winchester .357 Magnum hollow point pistol rounds, one box containing 40 Winchester 7.62 Rifle rounds and one box containing 20 Remington 7.62 rifle rounds. Police also found .5 grams of cocains on Kadar's person.

Kadar has a previous conviction and is not allowed to possess firearms or ammunition. Kadar was placed into custody and was taken to the Will County Adult Detention Facility. As of Aug. 17, he is still at the facility. His bond has been set at $7,500.

Kadar has been previously arrested for drug possession.
