Oops!
- Authorities in Kane County seized 60-pounds of marijuana from the trunk of a vehicle during a traffic stop.
Pablo Galeana-Rueda of Washington State and Jose Hernandez-Calderon of California both face several felony charges-- including possession and trafficking.
They were allegedly hauling the high-quality marijuana from the West Coast to the Chicago area. Sheriffs police stopped the men Friday morning when they failed to pay the toll on the off ramp for Route 31 in North Aurora.
Bond was set at $1 million for each of the men.
The estimated street value of the drugs is $1 million.
They lost $1 million in pot over an eighty-cent toll? Something tells us these boys aren't going to make bail, and that's probably a good thing for their continue good health.

06 guys in 003 a couple of years ago stopped a Mexican guy during a seat belt mission. Told them there's a bunch of weed in the trunk. Something like 5,000+ grams. Guy was basically like, "You think that's a lot? You should've saw how much I had earlier." Don't think he ever came back for his court date. Point is, this isn't nothin' for them.
Well, they also failed to signal a lane change-
I wouldn't be surprised if they had an "automatic" weapon in that vehicle...
So maybe any car that makes an unsafe lane change might have an "automatic" weapon inside (along with drugs)?
They can pay the missed toll on line. LOL!
We only catch criminals dumber than us. An eighty cent toll!
"They lost $1 million in pot over an eighty-cent toll? Something tells us these boys aren't going to make bail, and that's probably a good thing for their continued good health."
Coupla chopped-off heads with 80 cents in change in each of their mouths...
Cheech and Chong.
This one should be on the show 'I almost got away with it.'
Sorry Mr. Luthor!
It takes money to make money. Never were these words truer.
only 60 pounds, that would have been a 50,000 dollar "d" bond in crook county.....
But they're just here to do jobs Americans won't do!
When the hell are we going to lockdown the border from these criminals?
....and 1000s of lbs of coke coming in everyday! Best surveillance equipment in the world and most of the time the headlines are about grass! Makes ya wonder!
I'm guessing their car looked suspicious in some way. they're not going to stop someone solely on a skipped toll.
OT - WOW! IT MATTERS WHERE YOU'RE ARRESTED!

it won't happen again, boss!
right.
$1 million my ass. $700-900 per lb, maybe $50,000 worth to these guys. Even in the feds you need 100 lbs to get a 5 year mandatory for weed. Unfortunatley for these guys, Kane county may actually be harsher.
Gov. Quinn : "I know they were coming to the great State of Illlinois to support our efforts to bring jobs and prosperity to the many unemployed immigrants here, as well as apply for the generous benefits package we offer, but when will it be likely we can collect that unpaid tollway fare?"
Wonder why the county sheriff is enforcing toll violations?
$16,6666 a pound? I remember when it cost $440 a pound.
Nobody will die over 60 lbs. of weed, SCC. There's a whole lot more than that out there, and a lot of the so-called 'good stuff' is actually grown HERE, in the good 'ol USA.
I once had to arrest a Mexican guy at a part time security job I had for stealing a shirt. When the
working police arrived, he was found to have
$3,000.00 concealed on him, but he wouldn't use
any of that money to purchase the item he stole
and walk away. What a dumbass. The coppers told
me that the WC in their district sent him to court in the morning, because he refused to post bail!
But the judge put some hooks into him, forcing him
to either post his bail at county or remain housed.
Stupid is as stupid does!
I remember when a nickel bag was five bucks.

I've spoken with several illegals over the years and learned that for a few hundred dollars, they were allowed to cross. The Border Patrol is a joke! Has been that way for DECADES.
What a shame.

ditch weed has always been dirt cheap.
Never have figured out how they figure out the street value of drugs. The street value is what is charged on the street so if you buy a nickel bag the street value should be $5.00 but on the case rport and on the CPD reporting its $20.00 or more
I thought toll evasion was no longer a citable offense.
