PEORIA, Ill. – A Peoria man will spend the next decade in federal prison after being sentenced to felony drug charges.
Court records indicate Robert Lee Ford, 38, was sentenced Monday to 120 months in prison after pleading guilty last September to charges of Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute.
Ford — who was indicted last June — was accused of selling as much as 100 grams of meth that tested 90 percent pure.
He was arrested after going into a gas station on Lincoln Avenue where police found $2,500 in cash on him, and meth in the center console of his car.
Ford will serve five years on parole when he’s released.
