Kewanee man faces 10 to life for marijuana, firearms

ROCK ISLAND - A Kewanee man is facing 10 years to life in prison for manufacturing a large amount of marijuana.

John Robert Skovronski, 48 was inducted by a federal grand jury Thursday for cultivating marijuana and possessing and carrying firearms.

US District Attorney Rodger A. Heaton said Skovronski was often armed with a sawed-off shotgun while trafficking marijuana.

"It is a sad fact that guns and drugs frequently go hand in hand in today's society," Heaton said. "We must make every effort to protect our citizens by destroying this partnership."

Skovronski is charged with manufacturing, distributing and possessing more than 1,000 marijuana plants from June, 2003 through June, 2006.

The weapons charges allege Skovronski possessed a .357 magnum handgun, a .22 caliber revolver, .22 caliber bolt-action rifle, 20-gauge shotgun, 16-gauge shotgun, .22 caliber rifle, an a .410-gauge shotgun. Another count alleged the 410-gauge shotgun was sawed off, making it a lethal and illegal weapon to own.

The charges are the result of an investigation by the Illinois State Police's Blackhawk Area Task Force, the ISP's zone 2 methamphetamine response team, and the Kewanee Police Department.

If convicted, Skovronski faces 10 years to life for the drug charge. He also faces a mandatory five-year sentence for possessing a firearm during a drug trafficking offense which must be served in addition to any other sentence handed down. The sawed-off shotgun charge also carries a mandatory 10-year prison sentence if federal prosecutors can prove he possessed it during a drug offense.

The case will be prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Sara Darrow.

Skovronski is being held in a federal jail cell until his next court appearance.

Legalization, anyone?
