The Robbins Police Department provided its monthly activity report for June, detailing arrests and charges stemming from routine traffic stops, warrant service and drug-related investigations.
“In June, the Robbins Police Department experienced a decrease in charges,” said Lt. Hurley. “This was a direct result of effective community policing and proactive drug enforcement measures taken daily by the officers of our department.”
Week 1
Bernardo Galleeos-Rodriguez: During a checkpoint, officers observed a vehicle turning around. As officers got closer to the vehicle, they witnessed the driver reportedly discarding alcohol. Once the vehicle was stopped and the driver was removed from the vehicle, the odor of alcohol was reportedly smelled on his breath, giving the officers probable cause to search. He was taken into custody, where he tested positive for alcohol in his system. Galleeos-Rodriguez faced charges of: driving while license revoked, displaying a fictitious tag, failure to register a motor vehicle, no liability insurance, open container, expired inspection, and DWI.
Guadalupe Cano-Cadares: Officers conducted a traffic stop after observing a vehicle being driven without a headlamp. The driver, found to be unlicensed, was asked to exit the vehicle. Officers reportedly smelled marijuana, and the driver admitted to smoking earlier in the day. A probable cause search followed. Cano-Cadares faced charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of Schedule II controlled substance (fentanyl), possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana up to ½ ounce, possession of marijuana paraphernalia, DWLR, and driving without two functioning headlamps.
Week 2
Kenneth Anderson: Officers were alerted by sheriff’s deputies about a reckless driver heading toward Robbins on Plank Road. Chief Ben Haddock conducted the traffic stop, and while he spoke with the driver, Lt. Hurley began speaking to the passenger. Anderson reportedly gave the officers a fake identity. After Anderson’s real identity was confirmed, it was discovered that he had an active warrant. He was charged with identity theft, resisting a public officer, and his outstanding warrant was served.
Jason Dillon: During a traffic stop, Dillon was found to have an active warrant. He was taken into custody.
Week 3
Kristopher McDuffie: McDuffie was a rear passenger when Haddock made a traffic stop for seatbelt violations. McDuffie had an active warrant from Randolph County. The driver and other passengers were released with verbal warnings.
Alton Mays: Mays faced a charge of driving while license revoked.
Week 4
Mitchell Garner: Officers served a warrant at Garner’s residence. He was taken into custody without incident.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
