Kankakee, IL – Early morning customers at a Kankakee gas station were confronted with an unusual offer yesterday as a man allegedly attempted to distribute cocaine at the pumps. Kankakee police responded to reports around 5 a.m. at a gas station located on the 2200 block of East Court Street. Upon arrival, officers found 33-year-old Hayward Booker Jr. from Kankakee inside the establishment’s game room.
