Two men await detention hearings after a Wednesday traffic stop in Peru yielded more than 2 ounces of cocaine and a pair of search warrants yielded guns and another 4-plus pounds of cocaine.

Police halted Naichiem Saepharn at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday at Peoria and 15th streets in Peru. There, agents with the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team, assisted by La Salle County investigators and a K-9 unit, searched the vehicle and found 68.3 grams (2.4 ounces) of purported cocaine.

Saepharn was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a Class X felony. Sentencing ranges are weight-based, and his potential prison time has yet to be disclosed in open court.

After the arrest, TRIDENT said in a Thursday news release, two search warrants were executed in DePue in the 1300 block of St. Paul Street and the 100 block of Mason Street.

A search of the St. Paul Street residence resulted in the seizure of 2,046 grams (4.5 pounds) of purported cocaine, about 250 grams of cannabis, three firearms and a “substantial amount” of U.S. currency.

The recovery of these items resulted in Saepharn being charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver (more than 900 grams) and possession of a weapon by a felon, TRIDENT said. Formal charges for the cocaine possession will come at a later date, pending laboratory results.

Saepharn is being held in the Bureau County Jail, awaiting a detention hearing.

A search warrant of the Mason Street property yielded about 99 grams (3.5 ounces) of purported cocaine, and two firearms were recovered.

As a result of the search and seizure, Heber Moreno faces a preliminary charge of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of a weapon without a valid firearm owner’s identification card.

Formal charges for the cocaine possession also will come at a later date, pending laboratory results, police said. Moreno was taken to the Bureau County Jail.
