VAN BUREN COIUNTY (WKZO) — Sometimes being bad isn’t easy A couple of felons from Illinois are sitting in the Van Buren County Jail this morning because they got caught in a lie and that led to bigger crimes and misdemeanors…
Their secrets included with a handgun stuffed in a secret compartment.
They were pulled over by Van Buren County deputies for an equipment violation. They gave the deputy false names and their registration plate was being used improperly.
Upon further investigation and with the help of a K-9, they were able to discover a false compartment built into the back seat and that’s where they found the semi-automatic.
They are being held for being felons in possession of a gun, having a false registration, giving false information and other gun charges.
