Police: DeKalb man, Sycamore man arrested after drug deal at McDonald's

SYCAMORE – Two men appeared in court Wednesday on drug charges after police from three local agencies reported seeing a crack deal in a McDonald’s parking lot.

Tony Henderson, 32, of the 1800 block of Mayberry Lane, Sycamore, was charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

The most serious charge, unlawful possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park is typically punishable by four to 15 years in prison.

Henderson remained at the DeKalb County Jail on Thursday and must post $7,000 bail to be released.

Ubaldo Magallenes, 29, of the 700 block of Leonard Avenue, DeKalb, met with Henderson in the parking lot and got into a car with Henderson, court records show.

DeKalb, Northern Illinois University and DeKalb County law enforcement officers started to approach Henderson to arrest him on a warrant, when Magallenes got out of the vehicle and dropped his crack, court records show.

Officers searched Henderson’s car and found less than a gram of crack in the vehicle.

DeKalb police were not immediately available Thursday to comment.

Magallenes posted $500 bail Thursday morning and was released from the DeKalb County Jail.

Both men are scheduled to appear in court Oct. 6.
