EDWARDSVILLE A pre-Christmas search warrant executed at a since-closed Wood River bar has resulted in felony drug charges against two people.
Jeremy Bryant, 45, of Wood River, was charged Jan. 5 with two counts of unlawful delivery of methamphetamine, both Class 2 felonies. Chon L. Walsh, 44, of Alton, was charged Jan. 6 with unlawful possession of methamphetamine, a Class 3 felony.
Bail for Bryant was set at $85,000, and $15,000 for Walsh.
The two were taken into custody Dec. 23 following the execution of a search warrant by Alton and Wood River police at The Stallion Bar in Wood River.

Law enforcement officers stand outside The Stallion Bar in Wood River on Dec. 23. Officials last month deemed the building uninhabitable. On Thursday, the city revoked the bar’s liquor license.
WOOD RIVER Mayor Cheryl Maguire said Thursday she has revoked the liquor license of The Stallion Bar at 53 W. Ferguson Ave.
The action comes after a police serving a warrant on Dec. 23 uncovered what building inspectors called “uninhabitable” conditions and two people were charged with drug-related felonies.
In addition to revoking the liquor license, Maguire said Wood River Fire Chief Wade Stalhut has deemed firefighters will not enter the building in its current condition.
