Two Taylorville Teens Arrested For Manufacturing/Delivery of Cannabis

Two Taylorville teens were arrested Friday on drug charges. Around 6:34pm, Taylorville Police Department officers were responding to a call of male subjects harassing a female on South Washington. The female stated that two juvenile males had been texting her in reference to an incident from the night prior. She said they were near the train station on Second Street. One officer located one of the males walking on Second Street and stopped to talk with him. The other officer spotted the second male at the basketball courts in Manner's Park. The officer said his name on the PA and instructed him to walk towards the patrol vehicle. The 16-year-old male turned towards 19-year-old Tilur Miller, of Taylorville, with his left hand at his side. As he walked past him, he attempted to pass Miller an item. Miller dropped the item and then attempted to pick it up discreetly while the 16-year-old attempted to distract the officer. The officer instructed the 16-year-old to stand still and approached Miller on the basketball court. The officer patted down Miller and felt a bulge in his front right pocket. The officer removed it thinking it was the item the male had attempted to pass off and discovered $765-dollars and a small bag containing a green leafy material purported to be cannabis. In another pocket the officer discovered what had fallen to the ground, a large bag of purported cannabis. Miller and the 16-year-old were placed under arrest and charged with manufacturing and delivery of 10 to 30 grams of cannabis.
