Two Centralia men have been sentenced to 15 years in prison in Clinton County Court on a Class X charge of possession of 100 to 400 grams of methamphetamine.
36-year-old Brandon McMullin and 46-year-old Joshua Phelps both of West 7th Street were both arrested in a July traffic stop in New Baden where they were allegedly found in possession of several baggies containing 266 grams of meth, as well as 286 capsules of a substance believed to contain fentanyl and a smaller amount of a controlled substance.
Charges of Class X methamphetamine delivery of 100 to 400 grams, manufacture or delivery of 15 to 100 grams of fentanyl, and possession of a controlled substance were dropped. Also as part of the plea agreement, federal officials have agreed not to prosecute the two men.
After the two get out of prison they will have to complete 18 months of parole. They were also fined $100 and given credit for 115 days already served in jail.
