The U.S. States Attorney’s Office in southern Illinois honors law enforcement
A southern Illinois group is receiving one of many 2022 Legislation Enforcement Public Service Awards from the U.S. Lawyer of Southern Illinois.
The Centralia Police Division and the Centralia Secure Streets Working Group obtained a gaggle award for his or her investigation which led the profitable prosecution of Chris Jamison, a prolific shooter and member of a widely known road gang in Centralia.
Jamison was ultimately sentenced to six-and-a-half years in a federal jail, virtually double the advisory sentencing guideline vary.
Receiving the award had been Centralia Police Officers Lieutenant Jamie James, Sergeant Mike Peebles, Officer Travis Ripperda and FBI Particular Agent Ryan James.
