A tracking device planted by the feds on a piece of equipment used to manufacture counterfeit narcotics led to the seizure of more than $1 million in fentanyl and methamphetamine at a South Side apartment building.
Cook County prosecutors said Tuesday the tracker was placed on a pill press that was shipped to 30-year-old Allen Dean, who then brought it to a clandestine lab in the 8000 block of South Union Avenue.
In February, the Drug Enforcement Administration learned of two packages being shipped to Dean from China and found that one of them contained a pill press. They placed a tracking device on it and monitored its delivery to an address in Chicago, prosecutors said. When the lab was raided, authorities found more than 1,000 grams of suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine powder and more than 5,400 tablets containing a mixture of fentanyl and methamphetamine, prosecutors said. The total estimated value of the narcotics was nearly $1.2 million.
Defense attorney Sierra Norris said the allegations against Dean amounted to "little more than a guess or an assumption" that he had possessed drugs or items used to manufacture them.
