East St. Louis, IL – In a shocking turn of events, Andrew Autoomp, a 28-year-old resident of East St. Louis, was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for his involvement in a crack cocaine trafficking ring in the city.
According to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Donald S. Boyce, Autoomp was found guilty of conspiring to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine base, commonly referred to as crack cocaine, as well as two counts of distribution of cocaine base.
The case against Autoomp was investigated by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Monica A. Stump. Facts revealed in open court during the change of plea and sentencing hearings established that during the course of the conspiracy, Autoomp distributed both cocaine and crack cocaine in East St. Louis, Illinois during 2015.
The district court considered sentencing factors including Autoomp’s age and vital role in the conspiracy, ultimately sentencing him to 46 months of imprisonment. In addition to the prison sentence, Autoomp was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release and pay $300 in special assessment fees.
Autoomp’s involvement in the crack cocaine trafficking ring had a significant impact on the community, and his sentencing serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of engaging in such activities.
