Local officials in Centreville, Illinois are investigating the discovery of marijuana in a local fire station. State Police Narcotics Commander Joe Beliveau reported that police found between 30 and 500 grams of marijuana in a filing cabinet at the Golden Garden Fire Department during a recent search.

The search was conducted in conjunction with a raid on a house that netted roughly 5 pounds of marijuana and $15,000 worth of estacy. One fire department employee is suspected, but no charges have been filed. Commander Beliveau indicated that there was no evidence that drugs were being sold or delivered from the station, but rather were stored there.
