Cops Find Large Stash of Drugs and Cash in Posen Home: Prosecutor

Cook County sheriff’s police uncovered a large stash of assorted drugs and thousands of dollars of cash inside the home of a Posen man who was nabbed in an undercover drug sting, prosecutors said.

Ernest Glover, 49, was charged with multiple felonies, including unlawful delivery, manufacture with intent to deliver and unlawful possession of cannabis, cocaine and heroin.

Prosecutors said that on Oct. 7, Oct. 16, Nov. 5 and Dec. 2, Glover sold drugs to undercover Cook County sheriff’s detectives.

The quantity of drugs increased in price and volume with each sale, totaling $3,700, according to the charges.

On the day of his arrest, Dec. 2, Glover was pulled over in a traffic stop after he sold 29.5 grams of cocaine to an undercover officer for $1,400, prosecutors said.

A search warrant was executed at Glover’s home, which he shared with his fiance and her three young children. Prosecutors said sheriff’s police found 796 grams of cannabis, 144 grams of cocaine, and 894 grams of heroin, along with $88,000 in cash.

Glover has not appeared in a courtroom since 1992, when he was convicted of six armed robberies. He is a former security guard for a chain of thrift stores, the assistant public defender said.

Combined bail for the charges was set at $990,000. The judge took into consideration that three young children were living in the home where sheriff’s police found the alleged drugs and cash.

Glover is due back in court in Markham on Dec. 23.
