MURPHYSBORO — Jackson County State’s Attorney Joseph A. Cervantez announced today that Jeffrey D. Chism, age 36 of Carbondale, Illinois, was sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections after being found guilty to Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance, a Class 1 felony, in Jackson County Circuit Court.
