A 20-year-old man was arrested Thursday on a search warrant that prompted a shelter-in-place order for nearly an hour in parts of northwest suburban Lake in the Hills, authorities said.
A joint investigation into “illegal activity” led to the arrest of 20-year-old Joel Fernandez of Lake in the Hills on Tuesday, authorities said.
Around 10 a.m., Lake in the Hills police executed a search warrant alongside Carpentersville police and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Multijurisdictional SWAT team on the 1400 block of Clayton Marsh Drive near Randall Road.
Fernandez was taken into custody without incident and transferred to the McHenry County Jail, authorities said.
He is charged with four counts of possession of ammunition without a valid FOID card on person.
Police urged anyone in the area to shelter in place amid the police activity in a post on social media.
Around 10:45 a.m., authorities provided an update that the police activity had concluded in a post on social media.
“There is no longer a threat to public safety. Thank you for your cooperation in this law enforcement matter,” the post said.
No additional information was immediately available.
