Rockford Man Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison for Distributing Methamphetamine
ROCKFORD — A Rockford man was sentenced today to 14 years in federal prison for distributing nearly 900 grams of methamphetamine.
JESSE HERBIG, 44, pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of possession with intent to distribute fifty grams or more of methamphetamine.
Herbig admitted that in 2022 he communicated with his drug supplier and arranged for a United States Postal Service Priority Express parcel which he knew contained methamphetamine to be shipped from Phoenix, Ariz. to an address in Rockford. The package contained approximately 891.6 grams of methamphetamine that was approximately 99% pure, a substance commonly known as “ice.”
U.S. District Judge Iain D. Johnston imposed a 168-month prison sentence during a hearing today in federal court in Rockford.
The sentence was announced by Andrew S. Boutros, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Ruth Mendonça, Inspector-in-Charge of the Chicago Division of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. The Rockford Police Department assisted in the investigation. The government was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lisa R. Munch.
