MARION, Ill. — A firearm seized during an arrest in Williamson County has been tied to crimes committed in multiple states, according to WPSD Local 6.
The report did not detail the circumstances of the arrest itself or name the individual taken into custody, but it underscores something county law enforcement has said for years: what starts as a routine stop out here can reach a lot farther than the county line.
The American Times will update this story as investigators release more information on the case and any charges that follow.
