Springfield, IL (WTAX) – Last Tuesday night Springfield police met up with one 30-year-old Xavier Blocker of Springfield.

Blocker, who was currently out on bond for multiple felonies and equipped with an electronic monitor, was found to have approximately 3.2 grams of crack cocaine on his person.

That prompted a search warrant for his home on Candletree Drive where police found a total of 247 grams of cocaine, multiple digital scales, equipment used in manufacturing crack cocaine, and over $4000 in cash.

Blocker is in custody at Sangamon County Jail where he faces multiple drug charges.
