Galesburg Police on Tuesday met with a Galesburg man who came into the Public Safety Building with a complaint of drug activity. It’s unclear what 27-year old Jonathan Carter was inquiring about stating he was “just wondering what (he) needed to do to get (his) food paid for or money for buying drugs off people,” according to police reports. Carter told police he purchased drugs around Christmas time and had drugs at his residence. Officers informed Carter he had a valid Fulton County Warrant and he was under arrest. Carter also agreed to a Search Waiver Consent Form and took GPD to his apartment to collect the drugs. The drugs field-tested positive for methamphetamine. Carter was taken to the Knox County Jail and in addition to the warrant, was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance less than 15 grams.
