Justin Gilbert has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for possession of Methamphetamines. Evidence was presented to the Court that on December 2 last year, Gilbert was driving north of Hoopeston when a Vermilion County Sheriff’s Deputy conducted a traffic stop. While the deputy was discussing the nature of the stop with Gilbert, another deputy walked a narcotics detection K9 around the vehicle. The K9 gave a positive alert for the odor of narcotics inside the vehicle. A clear plastic bag was located inside a toolbox containing approximately 450 grams of methamphetamine. Gilbert admitted that he had driven to Hoopeston from Rantoul to get the methamphetamine.
