Scanlan, 54, pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute controlled substances: meth and fentanyl and one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance: meth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis career offender built a life around selling dangerous narcotics and has a criminal history spanning over three decades of drug distribution,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft. \u201cWhile he continued to make poor decisions following previous stints of incarceration, Scanlan\u2019s 17-year federal prison sentence will help to protect the public from any further crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to court documents, law enforcement began investigating Scanlan for distributing meth and fentanyl from a motel room in February 2024. Initially, agents recovered 79 grams of meth, 24 fentanyl capsules and two scales in a traffic stop of Scanlan\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur success in combating drug trafficking in southern Illinois is a direct result of the collaboration both within the FBI Springfield&#8217;s Southern Illinois TOC-W Task Force and outside it with our dedicated partners,\u201d said FBI Springfield Special Agent in Charge Christopher J. S. Johnson. \u201cBy combining our resources, we&#8217;re able to effectively seize drugs and firearms, and arrest those who threaten the safety of our neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March 2024, Scanlan admitted to driving from Centralia to St. Louis to purchase at least a pound of meth and more fentanyl capsules. In a subsequent traffic stop, law enforcement recovered 232 grams of meth and another bag of fentanyl capsules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under federal sentencing guidelines, Scanlan qualified as a \u201ccareer offender\u201d for amassing several previous drug trafficking and other felony convictions. Career offenders are eligible for longer terms of federal imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following imprisonment, Scanlan will serve four years of supervised release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A district judge sentenced a Centralia man to 204 months of federal imprisonment after he admitted to distributing pound quantities of meth and fentanyl.
