A search of the vehicle revealed 61 pounds of suspected methamphetamine contained in bins. Troopers also located a handgun inside the vehicle.
The driver, Juan Martinez Arroyo, 21, and passenger, Edwin Correa Miranda, 25, both of Cicero, Illinois, were arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession with intent to deliver, possession of a firearm during a drug violation, and possession of a firearm while committing a felony.

Bad boys bad boys watcha going to do when they come for you.good job.
Good Job!
What’s most worrisome about this crime is that the suspects have been charged with “possession of a fireman while committing a felony.” While cooking meth can be dangerous, it’s no excuse to have a fireman along for the ride.
That’s some beautiful Crystal. Puts Breaking Bad to shame.
This is exactly why gun laws will not work. The criminals don’t care about laws.
But do criminals care about fireman? I don’t think so.
