Two sentenced in unrelated drug cases
Two men pleaded guilty to drug charges when they appeared in circuit court last week.
Christopher Cunico, 33, Ottawa, was sentenced to three years in prison when he pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of heroin with intent to deliver.
He was given credit for four days served and ordered to pay $1,300 in costs and assessments.
He was arrested Sept. 18, 2008, by Deputy Paul Clampitt on Interstate 80, near Nettle Creek Road.
After stopping Cunico for speeding, the deputy reported he saw something fly out the window of the vehicle. From the grass along the highway, he recovered 21 small bags containing heroin. The heroin weighed about seven grams.
A ticket for not having a valid license was dismissed.
Russell Amadon, 41, 27738 Drake Drive, Channahon, was placed on probation for two years when he pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine.
Minooka police arrested him March 25, at Ridge and Bob Blair roads. Ticketed for driving with a revoked license, Amadon was found to have cocaine in his possession.
The revoked license charge was dismissed.
He was ordered to pay $800 in costs and assessments, $20 per month in probation fees, complete 30 hours of community service work, submit to periodic drug tests, submit a DNA sample and pay the $200 fee.
