Methamphetamine Trafficking Lands Robert F. Humphrey 200 Months in Prison

A Jackson County resident has been sentenced to 200 months in federal prison for methamphetamine offenses, announced United States Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft today.

Robert F. Humphrey, 47, of Elkville, Illinois, was sentenced on August 21, 2018, for his role in a methamphetamine conspiracy that spanned multiple counties in southern Illinois, including Jackson, Williamson, and Saline.

Evidence presented at the plea and sentencing hearings established that Humphrey was involved with co-defendant Krystle Sands and others in the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine between January 2015 and April 2017. At sentencing, the judge found that Humphrey was responsible for the possession of 186.96 grams of pseudoephedrine and the distribution of 1.02 kilograms of 'ice,' a highly pure form of methamphetamine.

Humphrey received a sentence enhancement for his reckless endangerment of others during a pursuit with law enforcement. Co-defendant Sands, who also pled guilty to the methamphetamine offenses, is currently being held without bond pending her sentencing hearing on August 27, 2018.

After his release from prison, Humphrey will spend eight years on supervised release and pay fines totaling $400.00.

The investigation was conducted by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and Elkville Police Department, with assistance from the Southern Illinois Drug Task Force and Jackson County States Attorney's Office.
