Plea hearing moved to next month

DIXON – A plea hearing was moved from Tuesday to March 1 for an Amboy woman facing multiple drug charges.

Tina L. Cartuccio, 35, is charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of a school; possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver; possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor.

She also faces three counts of delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school and possession of a controlled substance in another case. Police say she sold cocaine to an informant in August 2010.

According to police, a search of her home Oct. 13 turned up heroin, cocaine, spoons with drug residue, and hypodermic needles, and she and four others were doing drugs in the house.

They raided the house after receiving a tip that suspected Ohio bank robber Timothy J. Gallagher was staying there.

Police arrested the two, along with Cartuccio’s sister, Amy L. Rossetti, 32, and Rossetti’s boyfriend, John A. Sailliez, 34, both of Stickney in Cook County; and Brian M. Freeze, 31.

Freeze was arrested on a Marshall County warrant. He has not been charged in Lee County. Rossetti and Sailliez since have been sentenced to probation for heroin possession.

Gallagher, 36, of Ohio, pleaded guilty in federal court to the Oct. 6 bank robbery and awaits sentencing.
