URBANA, Ill. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a man had been sentenced to serve 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to distributing more than 45 pounds of methamphetamine in East Central Illinois.

Travis Tuggle, a 38-year-old from Mattoon, pleaded guilty in September.  U.S. District Judge James E. Shadid sentenced him on Feb. 18.

The office for U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois John Milhiser says Tuggle was at the center of a drug trafficking conspiracy selling methamphetamine in Coles County starting in 2013 and ending in 2016.
