COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — A Chicago Segway tour guide accused of peddling drugs out of a brown leather satchel in Lincoln Park was found with suspected ecstasy and marijuana — and Viagra — stashed in his sock, prosecutors said.
Christopher McAdams, 32, was arrested at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday after allegedly asking a woman if she "wanted to buy a bar" — a common street term for the anti-anxiety medication Xanax — and pulled a pill from his coat pocket, according to prosecutors and court records.
The woman, who "kept walking," flagged down police and gave a description of McAdams, who was stopped shortly later in the 900 block of West Armitage Avenue, according to court records.
Cops allegedly found a glass jar in McAdams' satchel containing 25 grams of a green leafy substance that was suspected marijuana, 21 pills of suspected ecstasy and nine Xanax, according to court records. They found the single Viagra pill in his sock later.
McAdams faces multiple counts of felony drug possession, though he allegedly told police that he has prescriptions for the Xanax and the Viagra.
According to an attorney representing McAdams, he works as a tour guide for Chicago Segway and studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
A Cook County Judge ordered McAdams held on $10,000 bond Tuesday afternoon.
