MARION, IL (KFVS) - The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois Stephen R. Wigginton announced Tuesday that a Marion man pleaded guilty to a federal indictment charging conspiracy to make meth.
Wigginton says on Nov. 19, Jason S. Thorne, 32, pleaded guilty to a one-count indictment. He says the incident happened between 2009 and 2011 in Williamson County.

The offense carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, a fine of not more than $1 million and a term of supervised release of at least three years.
The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Willamson County Sheriff's Office, Marion Police Department, Murphysboro Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration.
