Last Thursday, a Perry County, Illinois, man pled guilty to an indictment, charging conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, according to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton. 38-year old Brandon K. Loftis Pinckneyville, pled guilty to the one-count indictment charging conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. The offense occurred between 2012 and June 2013 in Perry, Jackson, Randolph, Franklin and Williamson Counties. Evidence at the plea hearing established that Loftis was involved with others in the manufacture of methamphetamine. Other persons supplied Loftis with pseudoephedrine pills for the purpose of manufacturing methamphetamine. During an April 10, 2012, search warrant at Loftis’ Mulkeytown residence, agents located meth-making materials. Co-defendants 28-year old Samantha J. Plumlee of Buckner and 35-year old April Rollinson of Centralia, have previously pled guilty to their roles in the methamphetamine conspiracy and are awaiting sentencing. All 3 face a term in federal prison of up to 20 years, to be followed by 3 years’ supervised release and a $1 million fine. The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Perry County Sheriff’s Office, the Perry County Drug Task Force and the Pinckneyville Police Department, among other agencies.
