Posted by wlpo on September 28, 2011

Long ways from home, two men from the west coast are accused of hauling drugs through the Illinois valley.

A state trooper says he pulled over Benjamin Blaustein and Jacob Mount-Finette of Berkeley, California Tuesday for speeding on Interstate 80 in La Salle.  After searching the men’s car, the trooper allegedly found over two pounds of marijuana in the trunk.

Blaustein and Mount-Finette were arrested for possession of cannabis with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia and were taken to the La Salle County Jail.
