2 Meth Dealers In Joliet Face Felony Criminal Charges: Police
Will County's Gang Suppresion Unit arrested David Hernandez, age 40, and his associate, Robert Riley, age 52, who comes from Yorkville.
JOLIET, IL — A pair of methamphetamine dealers working together, David Hernandez, 40, of Joliet's North Hebbard Street and 52-year-old Yorkville resident Robert Riley, are facing multiple charges of unlawful delivery of methamphetamine, according to the Will County State's Attorney's Office.
According to last week's complaint, Hernandez engaged in the delivery of 15 to 100 grams of meth on July 17 and on July 25 and Hernandez and Rice worked together in the delivery of 15 to 100 grams on Aug. 2. The fourth charge is for unlawful possession of meth. That charge indicates that on August 2, Riley possessed 100 or more grams of methamphetamine but less than 400 grams.
Bail for Hernandez was set at $200,000 and bail for Riley was put at $150,000. Riley came up with the necessary 10 percent to regain his freedom on Aug. 4, but that has not been the case for his co-defendant. Hernandez remains in the Will County Jail a week after his arrest by the Will County Gang Suppression Unit.
