JOHNSON COUNTY (WSIL) -- A large amount of Oxycodone was seized during a traffic stop in Johnson County.

An Illinois State Trooper stopped a vehicle on Interstate 24 Sunday for a Scott's Law violation.

During the stop, the trooper became suspicious of the driver, Manuel Bracamonte, of San Diego, CA. Bracamonte didn't have a valid driver's license and had open alcohol.

The trooper searched the vehicle and found 814 grams of Oxycodone pills. The pills are suspected to be counterfeit pills containing Fentanyl. 

Bracamonte was arrested on charges of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, no valid driver's license and illegal transportation of alcohol. He is being held in the Saline County Jail.
