PERU – The Peru Police Department announced Friday that they arrested an alleged Ecstasy dealer after a multi-department investigation.

Around 8:45 AM Friday they took 23-year-old Ryan E. McSherry into custody in the 600 block of Marquette Street in LaSalle.   Authorities say McSherry allegedly delivered MDMA as part of an undercover police investigation led by members of the Peru Police Department Special Investigations Unit.  The LaSalle County State’s Attorney’s office, Trident Drug Unit and LaSalle Police assisted Investigation Unit Detectives during the course of the McSherry investigation and arrest.

Chief Bernabei stated, “The Mayor and city council has committed many resources to PPD in fighting the drug problem facing our area. With these resources we will continue our enforcement efforts and it is my genuine belief that this will be the first in the next round of numerous arrests.”

McSherry is being held at the LaSalle County Jail on $750,000 bond.
