Man Arrested After Receiving Over 300 Ecstasy Pills in Mail

A Bridgeview man is facing Class X felonies after he accepted a parcel containing over 300 ecstasy tablets that was sent to his home in the U.S. mail, prosecutors said in court on Wednesday.

Andrew Gonzales, 27, was charged with controlled substance trafficking, possession of a concession with intent to deliver, both class X felonies, and possession of a controlled substance.

Prosecutors said that a U.S. postal service inspector intercepted a package addressed to Gonzales containing over 300 MDMA or ecstasy tablets.

According to the charges, Bridgeview police staked out Gonzales's residence and the package was put in his mailbox on Oct. 5. When Gonzales returned home from work, he retrieved his mail.

Police moved in when an alert on the parcel indicated that he had been opened inside Gonzales's residence, prosecutors said.

When police entered the home, prosecutors said that Gonzales was locked in the bathroom trying to flush the ecstasy down the toilet.

Prosecutors said that two open parcels were found on the floor, each containing approximately 155 tablets.

Bail was set at $250,000. Gonzales is due back in Bridgeview for court on Nov. 3.
