Ecstacy, Cocaine, Pills Found in Car During Traffic Stop: Cops

ST. CHARLES, IL — A St. Charles man who was stopped for speeding now faces several felony charges after officers learned he was driving drunk and found ecstasy, cocaine, LSD and Xanax pills in his car, prosecutors said. Troy T. Collins, 26, of the 40W block of James Michener Drive in St. Charles, was pulled over along Route 38 in Elburn around 2 a.m. on Wednesday.

He was initially charged him with driving under the influence after his blood-alcohol concentration allegedly registered at .17, which is nearly three times the legal limit, according to a news release from the Kane County State's Attorney's Office.

Authorities searched Collins car and found a variety of drugs, including eight grams of ecstasy, more than 16 grams of Ketamine, more than 2 grams of cocaine, more than 16 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, less than 1 gram of LSD, and 84 2-miligram Xanax pills, prosecutors said. They also turned up a digital scale with cocaine residue on it, about 200 plastic bags of varying sizes and other items that suggested the drugs were being sold.

Following the alleged discovery in Collins vehicle, prosecutors issued the additional charges against him: three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class 1 felony; two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class 2 felony; unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class 3 felony; and six counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony.

Bail has been set at $125,000 and Collins is next expected in court on Oct. 24.
