Madison Man Sentenced To 92 Months In Prison For Conspiracy To Distribute Methamphetamine

James L. Porter, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, announced today that Isaac Lawrence, 31, of Madison, Illinois, was sentenced in federal district court in East St. Louis for the crime of Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine.

Lawrence was sentenced to 92 months’ imprisonment, 3 years’ supervised release, a $100 special assessment, and a fine of $500, following his plea of guilty, on November 20, 2015. The charges relate to incidents that occurred in March, 2015, when Lawrence and a co-defendant traveled to California to buy methamphetamine; they then mailed the methamphetamine to East St. Louis, Illinois. Lawrence was arrested after U.S. Postal Inspectors became suspicious of the package and obtained a warrant to search the package, in which they found approximately 235 grams of methamphetamine.

The case was investigated by members of the Postal Inspection Service. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stephen B. Clark.
