A Chicago man was sentenced to a lengthy prison term for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation in western Illinois. Corey Deandre Jamison, 24, of the 9600 block of South Yates Blvd., was sentenced on March 25, 2022, to 121 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
The investigation, led by the Galesburg Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, uncovered evidence that Jamison was the source of methamphetamine being distributed in the Galesburg and Macomb areas over a four-month period. Authorities determined that Jamison utilized at least two other drug dealers to sell some of the methamphetamine for him.
The district court held Jamison accountable for the distribution of at least one pound of methamphetamine during this time. The statutory penalty for the offense is between five and 40 years of imprisonment.
Jamison pleaded guilty to the possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine charge in December 2021. He will also serve four years of supervised release following his prison term.
The investigation was a collaborative effort between local and federal law enforcement agencies, including the Galesburg Police Department, the Macomb Police Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Mehochko represented the federal government in the prosecution.
Jamison’s sentencing serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against methamphetamine trafficking in our community. As law enforcement agencies continue to work together to disrupt and dismantle these operations, it is essential that we hold individuals accountable for their actions.
The case highlights the importance of community cooperation and the role that citizens can play in reporting suspicious activity to the authorities. By working together, we can make a significant impact in reducing the prevalence of methamphetamine in our community.
