Kendall County judge sentences Chicago man to eight-year prison term in meth delivery case

A Kendall County judge has sentenced a Chicago man to an eight-year prison term in connection with a methamphetamine delivery two years ago, according to the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office.

In a statement, State’s Attorney Eric Weis said Judge Robert Pilmer sentenced Antonio Cooley, 28, of the 800 block of North Central Avenue, to an eight-year prison term as part of plea agreement negotiated last week.

Weis’ office had charged Cooley with unlawful possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, a Class X felony.

Weis said Cooley delivered 96 pills of methamphetamine to an undercover police officer working with the Kendall County Police Assistance Team in January 2020. Cooley was taken into custody after the delivery. He had remained in custody or on an ankle GPS monitor until his sentence was imposed.

Cooley will begin his sentence Jan. 9.

Cooley will serve 18 months of mandatory supervised release upon completion of his sentence in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorneys Ryan Phelps and Frank Gorup. Cooley was represented by attorney John Giralamo.
