A Dixon woman was charged Tuesday in federal court with possessing methamphetamine for distribution

A Dixon woman was charged Tuesday in federal court with possessing methamphetamine for distribution. 51-year-old Connie M. Gonzales was charged in a criminal complaint in U-S District Court in Springfield with one count of possessing methamphetamine to distribute. According to an affidavit filed in support of Tuesday’s federal criminal complaint, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Gonzales’s residence on Monday. Investigators found a safe in the master bedroom that contained a large bag of approximately 400 grams of crystal methamphetamine and three small baggies of crystal methamphetamine. Investigators also found a cellophane-wrapped package on the bed, under the sheet, that contained approximately 440 grams of crystal meth. The charge contained in this complaint is simply an accusation and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charge must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
