McHenry County prosecutors are asking a judge to place additional pretrial conditions on a Huntley business owner charged with growing psychedelic mushrooms in the basement of his Crystal Lake home, illegally possessing guns and creating child pornography.
Christopher Hopp, 38, faces multiple felony charges, including possession with intent to deliver more than 200 grams of psilocybin, creating child pornography, possessing child pornography and video recording without consent, as well as weapons charges, court records show.
"The state believes that is a threat against minor children," Assistant McHenry County State's Attorney Brian Miller wrote in a court motion filed Friday. In a request for comment from the village of Huntley, Village Manager David J. Johnson said although he is aware of the criminal charges, he would not comment.
