Accused Heroin Dealer Accrues Several More Charges in 2nd Arrest in 7 Months

A 30-year-old Wonder Lake man out on bond for heroin-related charges was arrested again last week, just seven months after he was first taken into custody.

Members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Police Narcotics Task Force conducted a month-long investigation prior to the Wednesday arrest of Wonder Lake resident Brian Freund. Freund was out on bond after being nabbed on a warrant in July 2016, according to a sheriff's office news alert.

"Detectives made undercover purchases of heroin from him after learning he was allegedly selling
heroin while out on bond from a previous heroin arrest..." the alert said.

Narcotics detectives conducted a search of Freund's home in the 3500 block of East Wonder Lake Road and recovered 42.7 grams of heroin; packaging material; a scale; alprazolam pills; and $540 cash. The street value for the narcotics seized is estimated to be about $8,540.00.

His charges include the following:
