37 counts of weapons and narcotics offenses have been filed against a Shelbyville man. The charges stem from a methamphetamine distribution investigation.

32-year-old Dagan Traylor was charged following an operation conducted on Monday by members of the East Central Illinois Task Force, Central Illinois Enforcement Group, the Shelbyville Police Department, Coles County Crisis Response Team, and the Shelby County Sheriff's Office.

Traylor has been charged with one count of unlawful possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver with a prior unlawful delivery of methamphetamine conviction. If found guilty, Traylor could be sentenced to between 12 and 100 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

A second similar charge was filed with a sentence possible of from eight to 80 years in prison; six counts of armed habitual criminal; 18 counts of possession of weapon by a felon; two counts of unlawful possession of controlled substance; six charges of possession of defaced firearms; and three counts of unlawful use of weapons. Each of the charges carry possible prison terms.
