Man Arrested in Cocaine Bust Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison

A man who was arrested by Evanston police in 2014 at his home in Chicago with 170 grams of cocaine and $2,000 in cash was fined and sentenced to four years in prison, authorities told The Chicago Tribune.

Daniel Palomares, 34, of the 7000 block of North Oakley Avenue, Chicago, was arrested by Evanston police as part of an ongoing drug investigation in February 2014, authorities said Thursday to the Chicago Tribune.

They said the cocaine and $2,000 in cash were recovered from Palomares’ Chicago home and that he was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Palomares, who has been in jail since his arrest, pleaded guilty Wednesday at the Skokie courthouse to the manufacture and delivery of cocaine and was sentenced to four year in prison, two years supervision, and fees and fines of $2,464, authorities said to the Chicago Tribune.
