Monmouth Man Sentenced to 112 Months Imprisonment for Methamphetamine Possession
A Monmouth, Illinois man has been sentenced to 112 months’ imprisonment for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Christopher P. Shultz, 50, of the 500 block of East 11th Avenue, was sentenced on March 29, 2022.
Shultz was arrested during a traffic stop on July 7, 2019, in Gulfport, Illinois. During the stop, he was found to be in possession of more than 80 grams of pure methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance.
The statutory penalties for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute include up to life imprisonment, a fine of up to $10,000,000, and a life term of supervised release.
Shultz was indicted in August 2020 and pleaded guilty in November 2021. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Gulfport Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Grant Thomas Hodges represented the government in the prosecution. The sentence will be followed by five years of supervised release.
Shultz’s sentence is a significant blow to the methamphetamine trade in the region. The DEA and local law enforcement agencies will continue to work together to disrupt and dismantle methamphetamine trafficking organizations.
