A stash of drugs and guns was seized when authorities conducted a compliance check on Wednesday morning at a parolee’s west suburban Aurora home.

Terrell Alvarez, 23, faces charges of drug possession with intent to deliver and unlawful use of a weapon, according to Aurora police. In all, Alvarez faces 13 felony charges stemming from a search about 7:15 a.m. at his home in the 1300 block of Solfisburg Avenue.

Local officers and officials with the Illinois Department of Corrections showed up at Alvarez’s home to ensure he was complying with the conditions of his parole and discovered guns and drugs sitting out in plain sight, authorities said.
