More details revealed in eocaine incident SECTION 2 - PAGE 5 - PLAIIN DEALER HERALD. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 10,1*4 Free trees, shrubs offered By Angela Burden Plaindealer-Herald Newsservice More details of a Crystal Lake incident involving the alleged sale of cocaine to an undercover agent, the confiscation of a gun reportedly brandished at a law officer, and an attempted escape with $15,000 were revealed in McHenry County circuit court last week. At a preliminary hearing, probable cause was found on several narcotic „ delivery charges against Michael P, "Bubba" Donegan, 30, of 7514 Hemlock St., Crystal Lake. Donegan was bound over to felony court by Judge Haskell Pitluck, who found probable cause on three charges of unlawful delivery of controlled substances, a charge of unlawful possession of controlled sub stances with intent to deliver and a charge of armed violence. One charge, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, was withdrawn from prosecution by the state prior to the hearing in 19th Judicial Circuit Court. Lt. Steven Schinkel of the Algonquin Police Department and James R. Marino, an officer with the Justice Department's drug enforcement task force, testified during the hearing. Schinkel testified that, on Sept. 13, he became involved in the undercover investigation of area drug trafficking after a task force agent notified him that Donegan had delivered, to a room in Martinetti's Motel, Crystal Lake, a sample of a white powder suspected to be cocaine. Schinkel said the undercover agent, Det. Robert Pietrowski, told him that Donegan delivered a small bag of the powder as "a sample of future deliveries." According to Schinkel, two days later, at the Super-8 Motel in Crystal Lake, Donegan allegedly handed the agent a bag of substance containing cocaine. Later that day, Sept. 15, $15,000 was reportedly given to Donegan for a subsequent delivery. The testimony indicated that, prior to delivery of the final package, Donegan made a telephone call and left the motel room to meet an accomplice outside the building. When Donegan returned with the suspected cocaine, there was a gun stuck in his belt, which "he held his hand on throughout the entire transaction," Schinkel said the agent told him. Schinkel explained that, after the drug buy, Sgt. Phil Kline, head of the task force group, received an arrest signal and approached Donegan in the motel. Donegan reportedly pointed the gun at Kline and ordered him up some stairs. As Donegan fled, Kline fired shots, which missed the suspect. Schinkel said he then observed Donegan running out of the motel, with the $15,000 in his hand. He testified that a fully- loaded .357 magnum pistol was found on the floor in the hallway of the motel. Hie case, which was handled for the state by Assistant State's Attorney Steven Jaenicke, with defense counsel Robert Haeger representing Donegan, has been assigned for an Oct. 15 hearing before Judge Roland Herrmann. Donegan is being held in McHenry County Jail on $321,000 bond. The court set Oct. 9 for the date to arrange a preliminary hearing for Donegan's alleged accomplice, John J. Ellenbogen, 31, of Carpentersville. Ellen bogen was arrested Sept. 16 in connection with the same un dercover investigation. He is being held in county jail on $50,000 bond. ' A third suspect arrested in the case, Daniel R. Quinn, 22, of Lake in the Hills, is being held in county jail on $120,000 bond. Quinn was indicted earlier this week by a Kane County grand jury on drug charges. Bond in Kane County is set at $75,000.
