In a stunning revelation from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Illinois, 28-year-old Jamie M. Trzinski, a resident of DuQuoin in Perry County, has been indicted on February 3, 2015, for her alleged role in a methamphetamine conspiracy.
The indictment, a one-count charge, accuses Trzinski of conspiring to manufacture the highly illegal substance between 2012 and December 2014. The offenses took place across Perry, Jackson, and Randolph Franklin Counties, Illinois.
Trzinski’s initial appearance in federal court was marked by her arraignment on February 19, 2015. A subsequent bond hearing on February 20, 2015, resulted in the defendant being ordered held without bond until an upcoming jury trial scheduled for April 20, 2015.
Under the law, an indictment is a formal charge against a defendant, and it is crucial to note that Trzinski is presumed innocent until proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury.
The methamphetamine offense for which she is charged carries a stiff penalty, including up to 20 years in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a monetary fine of $1,000,000.
This investigation was a collaborative effort involving multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Perry County Sheriff’s Office, Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, Perry County Drug Task Force, Murphysboro Police Department, DuQuoin Police Department, Pinckneyville Police Department, and the Illinois State Police Methamphetamine Response Team. Assistant United States Attorney Amanda A. Robertson has been assigned to prosecute this case.
