A Chicago man was charged with several felonies after police said he was selling methamphetamine in the Westlake Plaza parking lot in Wilmette with his 8- and 10-year old sons in the car.

Alberto Melencino II, 45, was arrested at 7:54 p.m. on Friday, November 13 in the parking lot at 3215 Lake Ave. Police said they were following up on a tip of a subject selling methamphetamine in the parking lot.

The children were turned over to relatives.
