Pill Pusher Pinched During Braidwood Drug Deal: Cops

BRAIDWOOD, IL — A Braidwood woman got caught peddling prescription pain pills, police said.

Heather Furlano, 29, was arrested Monday night and booked into the Will County jail on a charge of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver.

Furlano allegedly sold 30 tablets of Norco, an opioid pain medication.

Furlano was taken into custody on Walker Street near Main Street, police said. Jail records list a Godley address for Furlano, but according to court records, she lives on the street where she was arrested.

Furlano’s arrest on a felony drug charge was the latest of dozens made by the Braidwood police in the past year.

“If you don’t want your name in the paper, don’t deal drugs in Braidwood,” said Police Chief Nick Ficarello.
