Candy Laced with Xanax Found in Property Damage Investigation

A months-long investigation has nabbed two suspects for a criminal damage to property incident and drug possession, including Sweet Tarts laced with Xanax, according to a release from the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.

Kyle Scheuerlein, 22, of Shorewood, was charged July 29 with criminal damage to property and resisting/obstructing a peace officer, both class A misdemeanors. A warrant was issued with a bail of $5,000 with ten percent to apply.

Timothy Trammell, 28, of Aurora, was charged July 29 with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a class 4 felony, unlawful possession of cannabis, a class C misdemeanor and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, a class A misdemeanor. A warrant was issued with a bail of $7,500, with ten percent to apply.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred at around 7:25 p.m. March 20. Kendall County Sheriff’s Deputies went to the 2500 block of Light Road in Oswego for a report of criminal damage to property. The victim reported a man had cut her tire following an argument about driving dangerously. The suspect and vehicle descriptions were provided by witnesses at the scene.

Shortly after, deputies found a vehicle that matched the description given by the witnesses. When officers tried to make contact with the man, he fled on foot. After searching the vehicle, deputies found cannabis, paraphernalia and other contraband. Also recovered were a large number of Sweet Tarts candies laced with Xanax.

Scheuerlein is currently in custody at the Will County Corrections Facility on unrelated charges.
