Springfield Police have made two more arrests in their ongoing crackdown on illegal firearms on city streets.
Officers made a traffic stop late Monday in the 18-hundred block of South Second Street and determined that there was an illegal quantity of marijuana in the vehicle. They searched the vehicle and found 33 grams of suspected cannabis, a loaded pistol, and a rifle which had been reported stolen from East St. Louis. 21-year-old Baryon Whitley of East St. Louis and a 17-year-old juvenile from Belleville were arrested on weapons charges.
Whitley is in custody, while the teen was released to his parents.
