CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL — A Chicago Heights man will spend seven years in federal prison after selling heroin to an undercover officer in Wisconsin.
Antonio Wiley, 38, of Chicago Heights, was sentenced Tuesday after selling heroin several times in 2017 and 2018 to the officer, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Wisconsin. Wiley was also sentenced to six years of supervision after his release. He had been convicted twice before for selling heroin.
According to the release, Judge James Peterson said that he found Wiley responsible for distributing between 100 and 400 grams of heroin in the Madison area, and while he did not believe Wiley is a “kingpin,” he found that the man had sold “a fair amount of heroin in his day.” He added that he was concerned Wiley would continue his pattern of behavior.
