A Peru woman awaiting trial for possession of nearly two pounds of cocaine was ordered detained Monday after a La Salle County judge concluded she’d violated too many conditions of pre-trial release.

Charnelle Mond, 29, also listed in La Salle, appeared Monday in La Salle County Circuit Court for a hearing on prosecutors’ motion to revoke her pre-trial release.

Mond had mostly been out of custody on GPS monitoring since an April 25, 2024, drug raid in Peru that yielded about 900 grams of purported cocaine, according to court records and a report from the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team.

She would face 12 to 50 years in prison if convicted of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a Super Class X felony.

La Salle County prosecutors asked to have her held until trial, arguing she broke the law twice since she was granted pre-trial release.

That follows a Feb. 19 traffic stop that yielded a small amount of unbundled cannabis – a no-no for a driver – and for a driving while license suspended arrest to which Mond pleaded guilty.

Prosecutor Laura Hall said in open court that either of those misdemeanor charges would be grounds for detention, but that Mond further pushed her luck by repeatedly asking pre-trial services to let her out of the restricted GPS zone.

“(If) she gets denied movement, she leaves anyway,” Hall said, terming the number of GPS alarms that Mond racked up “astonishing.”

Mond’s attorney Peter Siena acknowledged some violations but argued the appropriate remedy was full-time home confinement, save for leave to attend church on Sunday.

Chief Judge H. Chris Ryan Jr. rejected Siena’s argument and agreed with prosecutors that there were “multiple violations” of pre-trial release conditions and that “her explanations are not satisfactory.”

Mond will next appear for a status hearing on March 19. Attorneys noted “negotiations are ongoing.”

A second suspect, 40-year-old Robert L. Wright, has been in custody since the 2024 bust. He, too, is charged with felony possession of cocaine and with unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon.
