A Chicago man was arrested Tuesday as a result of an investigation by the North Central Narcotics Task Force.

NCNTF said it received information that the man would be transporting cocaine from the Chicago area to DeKalb.

An NCNTF agent was able to contact the man and arrange a meeting with him to purchase about 100 grams of cocaine for $3,600.

Police said they observed Ricardo Garcia, 26, of Chicago arrive in a restaurant parking lot near North Annie Glidden Road and Hillcrest Drive.

There, police said, Garcia delivered 111 grams of cocaine to an undercover agent.

Police immediately took Garcia into custody. They learned Garcia was on parole for a Cook County drug offense and was in the country illegally after being deported as a felon, police said.

Garcia was arrested and charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class X enhanced felony; unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class X felony; and unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony.

Garcia is being held in DeKalb County Jail with bond set at $200,000.
