ALBANY PARK — A man who followed a Chicago Police officer out of a courthouse and threatened him has been charged with harassment and as well as possessing "copious amounts" of drugs, police say.
Reggie Catayong, 44, of Albany Park, was arrested on Thursday, police said. Police said he followed an officer who was leaving court in the 2400 block of West Belmont Street. He followed him with another man in a car to the 2800 block of West Catalpa where Catayong allegedly shouted, "We're going to get you!."
Catayong and a 42-year-old driver of the car were stopped and arrested by responding police in the alley of the 5100 block of North Troy.
Police got a warrant and searched Catayong's home in the 5100 block of North Troy Street and uncovered "copious amounts of narcotics including cocaine, liquid THC, anabolic steroids, and numerous pills," police said. "A replica firearm was also recovered and narcotic proceeds seized."
He was charged with eight drug-related counts, one count of possessing a replica weapon and one count of harassing a witness.
