(BENTON, IL) — A Carbondale man was recently sentenced in U.S. District Court for a crack cocaine offense. Acting U.S. Attorney James Porter says 31-year-old Roderick L. McClain, who had previously pled guilty to a one-count superseding indictment charging conspiracy to distribute 28 grams or more of crack cocaine, was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison, to be followed by 4 years of supervised release and fined $300. The offense occurred between October 2014 and July of last year in Jackson and Williamson counties. Evidence at the plea and sentencing hearings established that McClain was involved with co-defendant Keenon Farr and others in the distribution of crack cocaine in the Marion and Carbondale areas. During the investigation, McClain sold crack cocaine to a confidential source working for law enforcement. At sentencing, the judge found that McClain was responsible for the distribution of just over 210 grams of crack cocaine and just over 9 grams of cocaine. McClain was on parole from the Illinois Department of Corrections for a felony weapons offense during his involvement in the crack cocaine conspiracy.  Three co-defendants have previously been sentenced for their role in the crack cocaine conspiracy. One co-defendant has pled not guilty and is awaiting trial.
