PEORIA, Ill. – A Henry County man is going to federal prison for more than a decade after admitting to charges that started with him buying drugs in the Peoria area.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says Justin Collins of Galva, 42, was was sentenced to 180 months in prison Monday after pleading guilty last December to a charge of Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute.
He got another 30 months for violating the terms of his parole on a 2010 federal meth case.
Prosecutors allege that in June of 2020, Collins bought meth in the Peoria area, then went directly to the Walmart in Kewanee, where police caught up with him and found more than 83 grams of meth.
The arrest, officials say, was part of a federal meth initiative, spearheaded here at the Pekin Police Department.
