URBANA — An Indiana man who organized a cocaine trafficking ring in several central Illinois counties was sentenced to life in prison Thursday in federal court in Urbana.
Devon Thomas, 37, of Fortville, Ind., pleaded guilty to drug and weapons charges leveled against him as part of an investigation named “Operation Pyramid” by police. Thomas was arrested in April by Task Force 6 and federal drug agents. He pleaded guilty in June to possession with intent to deliver more than 50 grams of crack cocaine, possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a firearm in relation to drug trafficking.
Thomas received life in prison plus 60 months on the drug charge. Additional terms totaling 15 years were handed down on the weapons charges, to be served concurrently with the life sentence.
Police found about 300 grams of a substance believed to be crack cocaine and about 30 grams of powder cocaine in an Urbana hotel room after Thomas’ arrest.
A statewide grand jury indicted 16 people in May as part of the drug trafficking ring. Most of the accused participants in the drug conspiracy have pleaded guilty and received prison terms. In August, a Normal woman was arrested on drug conspiracy counts as part of the ongoing investigation.
Police from LeRoy, Gibson City, Farmer City and the DeWitt and McLean County sheriff’s departments were involved in the investigation. Task Force 6 is a multi-agency police unit targeting drug activity in DeWitt, Living-ston and McLean counties.
