Two California men have been arrested after police in eastern Illinois found more than 110 pounds of suspected cocaine during a truck inspection.
Illinois State Police say 35-year-old Brandon Weise of Murrieta and 36-year-old Miguel Martinez of Desert Springs are charged with trafficking, delivery and possession of a controlled substance.
Authorities say a semitrailer was stopped Thursday for a motor carrier safety inspection on Interstate 55 near Towanda, northeast of Bloomington. The suspected drugs were found within freight stored in the trailer.
A judge set bond for Weise and Martinez at $500,000 each. They were ordered held in the McLean County Jail.
