Police say they seized drugs and cash following a search warrant and arrested a suspect who was also accused of exposing himself in the presence of children in Wauconda.

The Wauconda Police Department responded around 4:08 p.m. last Tuesday to the 400 block of Barrington Road for a well-being check.

Wauconda Police Department Public Information Officer Heather Cognac said officers conducted a well-being check on a male subject after receiving a report from two juveniles.

The children reported seeing the male, later identified as 44-year-old Horacio Olayo, “engaging in lewd behavior” while naked on his porch at the mobile home park.

Officers made contact with Olayo inside his residence and observed that he appeared disoriented and confused.

Evidence of cocaine use was found on his person and inside the residence, Cognac said.

Olayo was transported to a nearby hospital for a medical evaluation.

A search warrant was later obtained, leading to the seizure of cash and cocaine from the residence, Cognac said.

An arrest warrant was issued for Olayo on Monday for two counts of public indecency, two counts of disorderly conduct, possession of drug paraphernalia and attempt unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

“The Wauconda Police Department remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the community. We appreciate the cooperation of witnesses in this case,” Cognac said.
