伊利诺伊州Decatur男子Coryell Henz贩运可卡因获刑120个月：车内查获2公斤可卡因、曾赴Texas购毒
美国伊利诺伊州中部地区联邦法院判处Decatur男子Coryell Henz有期徒刑120个月：45岁的Henz因持有500克以上可卡因意图分销，被联邦地区法官Sue E. Myerscough于2026年10月20日判处10年监禁，刑满后还要接受8年监督释放。司法部伊利诺伊中区联邦检察官办公室公布了量刑结果。
案情源于2023年7月的一次拦查。Illinois州警方在Sangamon County拦停Henz的车辆，初步搜查后在其车内查获2公斤可卡因，当场将其逮捕。检方在量刑听证上出示的证据还显示，Henz曾专程前往Texas购买可卡因，计划运回伊利诺伊州中部地区分销。
Henz于2024年8月被起诉，2026年6月认罪。按联邦法律，持有500克以上可卡因意图分销的法定刑为10年至终身监禁、最高2000万美元罚款，外加终身监督释放的可能与100美元强制特别评估费；本次120个月的判刑正落在该罪名的法定最低刑线上。
本案由Illinois州警方与联邦缉毒局（DEA）Springfield常驻办公室联合侦办，助理联邦检察官Matthew Z. Weir代表政府公诉。司法部称，此案属于「安全社区计划」（Project Safe Neighborhoods）的一部分，该计划汇集各级执法部门与社区力量，目标是减少暴力犯罪与枪支暴力。
Decatur, Illinois Man Coryell Henz Sentenced to 120 Months for Cocaine Trafficking: 2 Kilograms Found in Car, Trips to Texas to Buy Drugs
A federal court in the Central District of Illinois has sentenced Decatur man Coryell Henz, 45, to 120 months in prison for possessing more than 500 grams of cocaine with intent to distribute. U.S. District Judge Sue E. Myerscough imposed the 10-year term on October 20, 2026, to be followed by an eight-year term of supervised release, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of Illinois announced.
The case began with a traffic stop in July 2023, when Illinois State Police stopped Henz in Sangamon County and, after an initial search of his vehicle, arrested him for possessing two kilograms of cocaine. At the sentencing hearing, the government also established that Henz had traveled to Texas to purchase the cocaine and planned to distribute it in the Central District of Illinois.
Henz was indicted in August 2024 and pleaded guilty in June 2026. Federal law sets the penalty for possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine at 10 years to life in prison, a fine of up to $20 million, up to a life term of supervised release, and a $100 mandatory special assessment; the 120-month sentence sits at the statutory minimum for the offense.
The Illinois State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration's Springfield Resident Office investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Z. Weir prosecuted it. The Justice Department said the case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence.
