Troy P. Collins

Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon charged 26-year-old Troy P. Collins with the offenses of:

• Unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class 1 felony, three counts.
• Unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class 2 felony, two counts.
• Unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class 3 felony.
• Unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony, six counts.
• DUI, Class A misdemeanor, two counts

Kane County prosecutors allege that on Oct. 16, 2019, Elburn police stopped the car Collins was driving on Route 38 in Elburn for exceeding the posted speed limit. They charged him with DUI when his blood-alcohol concentration registered at .170.

While searching the vehicle police allegedly found more than 8 grams of Ecstasy, more than 16 grams of Ketamine, more than 2 grams of cocaine, more than 16 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, less than 1 gram of LSD, and 84 2-milligram Xanax pills.

According to Elburn police, the traffic stop occurred at about 2 a.m. Police also allegedly found in Collins’ vehicle a digital scale containing cocaine residue, approximately 200 plastic bags of varying sizes and other items consistent with drug use and drug dealing.

Collins appeared today in Kane County bond court. Kane County Associate Judge Keith Johnson set Collins’ bail at $125,000, with 10 percent ($12,500) to apply for bond. Judge Johnson set Collins’ next court appearance for 9 a.m. Oct. 24, 2019, in Courtroom 313 at the Kane County Judicial Center.

The charges against Collins are not proof of guilt. Collins is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the state’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
