A Dolton man is in Cook County jail after Homewood Police officers found him sleeping in his car, allegedly alongside three handguns and two large bags of cannabis.
Esaias Frazier is being held on $100,000 bond on charges of resisting a police officer, intent to deliver more than 500 grams of cannabis, and being an armed habitual criminal, which is a Class X felony charge.
On Thursday, Feb. 24, Homewood officers responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle in the 18600 block of Golfview Ave., and found 32-year-old Frazier sleeping inside. According to information released online, officers identified Frazier, who was on parole, and observed the grip of a handgun protruding from his coat pocket.
During their attempt to arrest him, Frazier failed to put his hands behind his back, police said. With help from more officers, police were able to take him into custody.
On the floor of the car’s back seat, police said officers observed an unzipped duffle bag, and “a green leafy substance could be seen in plain view.”
Police said inside the bag, officers located sealed bags of cannabis and two more loaded handguns.
Frazier’s next court date is March 10 at Markham Courthouse.
