Jason Nordlander, 21, and his mother Cheryl Nordlander, 49, both of the 1800 block of Portsmouth Lane, were arrested and appeared in bond court in Rolling Meadows charged with dealing drugs out of their home, Cook County sheriff's officials said in a press release.

Jason Nordlander was charged with manufacturing and dealing cannabis, possession of cannabis, possession of drug paraphernalia, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Cheryl Nordlander was charged with possession of cannabis and possession of a controlled substance.

Officials said they began investigating the duo after police received complaints from neighbors about drug activity at the family's home.

The home was put under surveillance and investigators witnessed a "suspicious amount of foot traffic in and out of the house at all hours of the day and night," officials said.

After getting a search warrant police raided the home on Thursday and found large quantities of drugs and drug paraphernalia in plain view, officials said.

Inside the home police found 30 hydrocodone pills, 1.5 grams of hashish, 38.5 grams of cannabis, and nearly $2700 in cash, officials said.

Police also said there was evidence of a disassembled grow house in the basement, with hydroponic equipment used to grow cannabis.

Cheryl Nordlander is on probation for a previous drug arrest.

In January she was arrested by the Chicago Police Department and charged with possession and production of cannabis, and possession of Ecstasy, after a tip that drugs were being shipped to her home by a relative in California, officials said.
 
Bond for both Jason and Cheryl Nordlander was set for $10,000 in Rolling Meadows Court on Saturday. Cheryl Nordlander's next court date is July 29th at 26th & California.  Jason Nordlander appears in Rolling Meadows on August 19th.

Schamburg Police assisted Cook County Sheriff's Police, officials said.
