A Peoria man was sentenced to three years in federal prison for distributing over 100 grams of methamphetamine.
In January, Matthew T. Cosey, 32, pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing methamphetamine after he delivered 167.2 grams of the drug on two separate occasions in January 2023 in Tazewell County. Cosey received his sentence on June 18 at a hearing presided over by U.S. Central District Judge Jonathan Hawley.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of Illinois, a grand jury indicted Cosey in February 2023.
Cosey received concurrent sentences on both counts, with a concurrent three-year term of supervised release following. He had been facing up to 20 years in prison on the charges.
