PEORIA, Ill. – What started with a pair of ShotSpotter alerts in the East Bluff last March, has resulted in a lengthy prison sentence for a Peoria man.
43-year-old Terrance Shaw was sentenced to 8 ½ years in federal prison for heroin and cocaine trafficking offenses involving firearms and for violating the terms of his federal supervised release.
Peoria Police said they found shell casings that led them to Shaw following ShotSpotter alerts in the 700 block of La Salle Street.
Investigators searched Shaw’s home and found 82 grams of heroin, 10 grams of cocaine, 312 grams of cannabis, drug packaging materials, digital scales and utensils with cocaine residue, multiple cell phones, a 9mm pistol and ammunition, and an AR-15 rifle with .223 caliber ammunition.
Police also found more than $14,000 in suspected drug money in Shaw’s home.
When Shaw’s sentence is completed, U.S. District Judge Jonathan Hawley said he will spend six years on supervised release.
