Last Thursday, 28-year old Samantha J. Plumlee, of Christopher, was sentenced for her involvement in a methamphetamine conspiracy, according to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton.   Plumlee, who had previously pled guilty to the one-count indictment charging conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, was sentenced to nearly 6 years in federal prison, 3 years of supervised release and was fined $250.  The offense occurred between 2012 and June 2013, in Perry, Jackson, Randolph, Franklin and Williamson Counties.  Evidence at the plea and sentencing hearings established that she obtained over 43 grams of pseudoephedrine to be used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.  Two co-defendants have pled guilty and are awaiting sentencing.  The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Perry County Sheriff’s Office, the Perry County Drug Task Force, the DuQuoin Police Department and the Pinckneyville Police Department, among other agencies
