Michael L. Goff, a 36-year-old man from Robinson, Illinois, was recently sentenced to 168 months in federal prison for his involvement in methamphetamine trafficking. According to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, James L. Porter, the sentencing marks the culmination of a lengthy investigation into Goff’s activities.

As detailed in the federal indictment, Goff was involved in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Crawford and Richland Counties, as well as elsewhere in the state of Indiana. The total amount of methamphetamine involved in the conspiracy was a staggering 50 grams or more of the highly addictive substance, known as “Ice.”

Additionally, Goff was charged with two counts of possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute. The investigation revealed that on August 30, 2015, Goff had in his possession five grams or more of methamphetamine, and on August 31, 2015, he had methamphetamine with the intent to distribute in Richland County.

The investigation into Goff’s activities was a collaborative effort involving the Robinson, Illinois, Police Department, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, and the Richland County Sheriff’s Office. The Crawford County State’s Attorney’s Office also provided assistance in the investigation.

The case was handled by Assistant United States Attorney George Norwood. In a statement, Porter noted that Goff’s sentence reflects the severity of the crime and the harm caused by methamphetamine trafficking in the community.

The sentencing of Michael L. Goff serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of involvement in drug trafficking. The case highlights the importance of collaboration and cooperation between law enforcement agencies in investigating and prosecuting these types of crimes.

As Goff begins his 14-year sentence, the community can rest assured that justice has been served. The efforts of the investigators and prosecutors involved in the case have sent a clear message that methamphetamine trafficking will not be tolerated.
