Chatsworth drug dealer sentenced to DOC

32-year-old Sarah Knade of Chatsworth was sentenced to six years in prison for bringing contraband into a penal institution. She also received 10 years for unlawful delivery of a controlled substance. Both terms will run consecutively.

In Livingston County Circuit Court, Knade pleaded guilty in April with the State’s Attorney’s Office suggesting no longer than an 18-year prison sentence.

The Livingston County Proactive Unit, Pontiac Police Department, and Dwight Drug Unit then arrested Knade as part of an investigation, which led to the seizure of 1.9 grams of cocaine.

At the time of the first arrest, Knade was out on bond from a case where she was charged with bringing contraband into a penal institution. Since she was out on bond at the time, both her sentences will run consecutive.

In 2014, Knade was also sentenced to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for delivering drugs.
