A 55-year-old Woodlawn man had bond set at $100,000 during his first appearance in Jefferson County Court on Thursday for possession with intent to deliver 15 to 100 grams of methamphetamine.
David Lamar was allegedly found in possession of meth packaged for delivery during a Wednesday afternoon traffic stop. Based on information gained during the traffic stop and previous investigations, detectives received a search warrant for Lamar’s home. A handgun, ammunition, drug equipment and items used in the production of methamphetamine were recovered.
Lamar was previously incarcerated in the Illinois Department of Corrections on charges of burglary and unlawful use of a weapon. Since his release from prison in November of last year, the narcotics department has continued to receive information indicating Lamar was active in narcotics distribution.
During the execution of an earlier search warrant in April, he was arrested at that time for delivery of under five grams of meth, possession of over five grams of meth, possession of a firearm by a felon, obstructing justice, and a Class X charge of possession of between 400 to 900 grams of meth.
Charges are still pending in Jefferson County Court in connection with that case.
The public defender has been appointed to represent him.
