Local police arrested a Rochelle man last night on a drug offense following a traffic stop.
26-year old Thomas Kronon was arrested on the charge of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, cocaine.
A small amount of the drug was seized by police.
Kronon was originally stopped for disobeying a stop sign. He received a ticket for that violation along with failure to signal when required and having an expired registration.
Kronon was transported to the Ogle County jail without bond following the arrest. He will appear before a judge later today in Oregon.
The Rochelle K-9 unit assisted in the arrest last night.
