Downers Grove, IL – While standing in line to enter the DuPage County Courthouse on drug charges after being arrested in Downers Grove last month, Marc Mueller caused a disturbance and told sheriff’s deputies he had a bomb in his belt.

Mueller, 29, of Palatine is scheduled to be arraigned at the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 11.

In addition to the existing drug charges, Mueller now faces disorderly conduct and bribery charges as a result of the incident at the courthouse.

Paul Darrah, spokesman for the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, said after telling police he had a bomb, he then tried to bribe them into letting him go.

“There was some discussion that he attempted to tell one of the police officers ‘I’ll give you something if you let me go,’” Darrah said.

Darrah said Mueller caused the scene when reporting to court July 17 on charges stemming from an incident in which Downers Grove police found dozens of Vicodin pills and marijuana in his possession.

Downers Grove Police Sgt. Dave Bormann said Mueller was pulled over in the village at 7:15 p.m. June 11 at Belmont Road and Chicago Avenue for making a lane violation.

Bormann said Mueller was acting suspiciously, and police asked him to step out of the car. A drug dog from the Westmont Police Department was called out to assist in the incident.

“In the center console (of Mueller’s car, police) found cannabis as well as the Vicodin,” Bormann said. Police said Mueller had 59 Vicodin pills and 29 grams of marijuana in his possession.
