Police: Boulder Hill Man Faces Charges After Heroin Overdose

A 22-year-old Boulder Hill man faces charges after Kendall County Sheriff’s deputies say they found him overdosing on heroin. 

Brian Castle, of the 300 block of Boulder Hill Pass, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class A misdemeanor, earlier this month after deputies found him partially responsive in his home on Oct. 15, police said.

According to Deputy Craig French, police found drug paraphernalia near Castle when they arrived at his home. Castle later admitted to overdosing, police said, and the paraphernalia tested positive for heroin. A warrant was issued for Castle’s arrest on Jan. 5, and he turned himself in on Friday, deputies said.

The felony charge typically carries a sentence of probation, or up to three years in prison. 

This is the second heroin-related incident in recent months in Kendall County. On Aug. 18, sheriff’s deputies assisted 19-year-old Christopher Watts, of the 0-99 block of Hillside Drive in Yorkville, with labored breathing. Deputies found heroin at the scene, police said, and Watts was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

According to Kendall County court records, Watts pleaded guilty to the charge, and was sentenced to probation and community service on Dec. 28.
