Drug Trafficking Leads to Arrest
On November 5, officers conducted a controlled delivery to Dinah’s residence in the 1100 block of Iroquois Avenue in Naperville. Using a GPS tracker and a wire transmitter inside the package, detectives monitored Dinah as he accepted the parcel and brought it into his apartment.
Moments later, officers executed a search warrant. Inside, they found the fentanyl tablets unwrapped and stored near a sink in air-sealed plastic bags. Dinah was immediately arrested and taken into custody.
A judge denied pre-trial release, and Dinah is scheduled to appear in court on November 21. If convicted, he faces 18 to 20 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
