Springfield Police have arrested a Texas man after more than 100 pounds of cannabis was found in his vehicle during a traffic stop early Friday.
Officers pulled over the vehicle in the 32-hundred block of Clear Lake Avenue around 3:15 am Friday.
Police say the driver – 45-year-old Eric Johnson of Tyler, Texas – became combative with officers but was taken into custody after a brief struggle.
A search of the vehicle uncovered the cannabis, along with a loaded gun that had been reported stolen out of Texas, and a small amount of ecstasy.
Johnson is in the Sangamon County Jail facing multiple charges.
