ST. CHARLES – Two of the five people charged with marijuana trafficking earlier this month sought bond reductions Wednesday during their first court appearance.

Public Defender Julia Yetter, attorney for Elburn couple Matthew A. Westerlin, 28, and Crystal L. Westerlin, 29, asked Judge David Akemann to reduce their $27 million bond.

The Westerlins were among five people charged Nov. 13 with marijuana trafficking when authorities concluded a three-month investigation that resulted in the seizure of 598 pounds of marijuana.
