While searching Franco's vehicle, detectives allegedly found 85 grams of cocaine and a 9mm pistol, according to officials. Franco's child was also inside the vehicle at the time, and was cared for by detectives until a family member took custody of the child, the sheriff's office said.As the traffic stop was taking place, a search warrant was conducted at Franco's home in Wheeling, where detectives allegedly found another 550 grams of cocaine and two more guns, officials said.
"This is yet another impressive investigation and apprehension of a drug trafficker operating their business in Lake County," Sheriff John D. Idleburg said in a statement. "SIG, which is a collaboration of countywide and federal law enforcement, supported by HIDTA, took another three illegally possessed firearms off the street along with over a pound of cocaine during this operation."Franco is currently being held in the Lake County Jail. He was due in court Friday morning.
