A Joliet man is currently behind bars for allegedly spent millions rehabbing run-down buildings with proceeds from his grand-scale drug operation. Santos Calderon was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years in prison by a federal judge.

"On the scales of drug dealing, he's at the top," said Assistant U.S. Atty. James Conway, referring to Santos Calderon ,21, of 420. Abe St. "He was one of the biggest drug dealers on the East Side. Unfortunately, I'm sure there is somebody who has taken his place."




Conway said that law officers estimated Calderon dealt some 40 kilos of heroin, cocaine, and marijuana, that amount was small by comparison with what authorities charge was being dealt by others down the hall and by a group that has not yet been to court

In the court system, as on the athletic fields, it appears records were made to be broken.

Calderon was known for his lavish home On Abe Street that was decorated with crystal chandaliers, Persian carpets, gold fixtures and a marble staircase, law authorities said.

Conway said Calderon's home had hidden rooms where employees could "cut" drugs for sale on the streets.

But in another courtroom, Angel Rojas, Gustavo Arroyo, Manuel Garcia, Horacio Caballero, all residents of Mexico, and Luis Luna, of El Paso, Texas, and Guillermo Olivares and Bernard Wilson, both of Joliet, sat in chains in the jury box before U.S. District Judge Edward Bobrick.

After a daylong hearing, they were ordered held without bond in the Metropolitan Correctional Center for conspiracy charges they face after authorities allegedly tied them to a 350-kilo cocaine cache that was confiscated in Jolietby Drug Enforcement Agency and Northeastern Metropolitan Enforcement Group officers.

The undercover officers in Joliet arrests also had been told an additional 1,000 kilos of cocaine would be brought into the area, Assistant U.S. Atty. Frank Lipuma said.

"We have a drug transaction involving 350 kilograms of cocaine, an enormous amount of cocaine, that is to be introduced into our community," Bobrick said when making his ruling.

And at police headquarters, police and FBI agents announced the arrests of four people who have been charged with possessing or conspiring to deliver more than 900 kilos of cocaine.

The drugs in that case were found inside a panel truck and at a truck rebuilding business, police said.

Candelario Baiza, Shirley Thompson, Ezequiel Ceniceros Gutierrez and Eliseo Miguel Ontiveros were named in a criminal complaint on charges of trying to manufacture, deliver and distribute more than 900 kilos of cocaine.

Federal authorities said in the complaint they found 38 kilos of cocaine and $25,000 in cash inside Calderon's camaro, 8451 S. South Chicago Ave., after they secured a search warrant for the building.

When authorities searched a panel truck that they had seen two of the men drive onto the lot, they found 900 additional bricks of white powder inside the truck.

If convicted, most of the defendants face mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years and maximum terms of life in prison.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
