LASALLE COUNTY (25News Now) – Illinois State Police are reporting the discovery of more than 5,800 pounds of marijuana and the arrest of two Chicago area men during a traffic stop near LaSalle.

A trooper with ISP’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Bureau stopped a semi shortly after 11:30 Friday morning on eastbound I-80.
