URBANA, Ill. (WAND) - Two people accused of possessing pounds of marijuana in Urbana face charges. 

State police troopers with District 10 said they conducted a traffic stop at 10:49 a.m. Wednesday on a maroon Dodge van when it was near Airport Road and Willow Road. They said the driver left the vehicle while it was still moving and fled on foot, leading to a foot chase.

The person threw away a black bag containing 3.4 pounds of marijuana as they ran, troopers said, before entering a home at 506 Airport Road. Troopers created a perimeter around the house with the help of Illinois Secretary of State Police and Champaign County Sheriff's Deputies. 

The suspect surrendered after a period of eight to 15 minutes. 

Troopers said they got a search warrant for the Airport Road address and found three handguns - two of which were stolen - along with multiple rounds of different calibers of ammunition and another 5.7 pounds of marijuana.
