A Chicago man, arrested in Galesburg, will spend around a decade in federal prison for meth distribution charges.
24-year-old Corey D. Jamison was sentenced last week to 121 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. After he is released, he will spend four years on supervised release. He plead guilty in December of 2021.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the government stated during the sentencing hearing that authorities began investigating the distribution of meth in the Galesburg and Macomb areas in the fall of 2020.
Jamison was determined by law enforcement agencies to be a source of the meth that was being distributed.
WGIL previously reported that Jamison was arrested on December 12 after officers were dispatched to Iowa Avenue after a 911 hang-up call.
Jamison was found asleep in a running vehicle on the road. He was taken into custody after officers observed an open bottle of alcohol in the center console. Also found were a loaded .45 caliber handgun, cannabis, suspected methamphetamine, amphetamine pills, and numerous additional baggies.
During the sentencing hearing, the district court held Jamison accountable for the distribution of at least a pound of methamphetamine over a four-month period. It was found that he utilized at least two other drug dealers to sell some meth for him.
