The jury returned its verdicts against Julian Wyre, 46, on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Rockford. A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

According to evidence presented at trial, Wyre and two other individuals were involved in the conspiracy and distribution of cocaine base in Rock Falls, Ill. between June 2019 and November 1, 2019.
