Yesterday, 27-year old Pattsy S. Pelate of Cutler, Illinois, was sentenced in United States District Court in Benton on a one-count indictment charging conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, according to Stephen R. Wigginton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois. Pelate, who had previously pled guilty to the methamphetamine offense, was sentenced to 7 years in prison, to be followed by 4 years of supervised release and fined $300. Evidence at the plea and sentencing hearings established that Pelate supplied pseudoephedrine to others for use in the manufacture of methamphetamine. The offense occurred between 2010 and November 2012, in Jackson and Randolph Counties.
