Good morning, Normal.
🚨 Crime
A 40-year-old California man named Osvaldo Anaya Ramirez was arrested on Interstate 74 in McLean County after a trooper discovered 30 packages of cocaine worth over $3 million in his box truck, and he faces charges including controlled substance trafficking + possession of a large amount of cocaine.
🎭 Culture
McLean County had a dairy boom in 1920 when nearly 4,000 farms raised 26,412 cows, but modern advances—like rural electrification and refrigeration—reduced the number of dairies; today, only a few remain, producing milk from about 4,000 cows.
