provides update on recent court cases
[March 20, 2025]
On January 28, 2025, Judge Jonathan Wright
accepted a fully negotiated plea sending Cameron Felton (d.o.b.:
01-16-1989), of the block of 900 block of South College Street,
Lincoln, Illinois, to the Illinois Department of Corrections for 6 ½
years for delivering heroin. In May of 2024, the Central Illinois
Enforcement Group (an Illinois State Police narcotics task force)
conducted a covert operation in Lincoln, Illinois, targeting Felton.
During the operation, Felton sold 4.4 grams of a substance that
tested positive for heroin and fentanyl. Felton’s criminal history
includes: 2019 Logan County Burglary (Class 2 felony); 2018 Logan
County Forgery (Class 3 felony); 2014 Logan County Delivery of a
Controlled Substance (Class 1 felony); 2013 Logan County Possession
of a Firearm (Class 4 felony); 2010 Logan County Driving Under the
Influence (Class A misdemeanor); 2008 Logan County Driving Under the
Influence (Class A misdemeanor); and 2005 Logan County Driving Under
the Influence (Class A misdemeanor). Pursuant to Illinois law,
Felton must serve at least 50% of his sentence, followed by 1 year
of mandatory supervised release, and he was given 75 days credit for
time served while in pretrial detention.
On January 28, 2025, Judge Jonathan Wright
sentenced Hannah Lamb (d.o.b.: 07-23-1989) of the 700 block of
Tremont Street, Lincoln, Illinois to the Illinois Department of
Corrections for 3 years for violating her probation. In February
2023, a Lincoln resident reported that an unknown female stole her
car and that her car had been unlocked, and the keys were inside it.
Shortly after the report was made, Lincoln Police conducted a
traffic stop on the missing vehicle and identified Lamb as the
driver of the vehicle. It was also learned that Lamb’s driver’s
license was revoked at the time of the offense. In August of 2023,
Lamb pled guilty to possessing the stolen vehicle and driving while
license revoked and was sentenced to probation. In January of 2024,
the State’s Attorney’s Office filed a petition to revoke Lamb’s
probation, alleging that she failed to meet with her probation
officer as required. In September of 2023, Lamb admitted the
allegation. Lamb’s criminal history includes: 2021 Logan County
Domestic Battery (Class A misdemeanor); 2019 Logan County Driving
Under the Influence (Class A misdemeanor); and 2015 Logan County
Driving Under the Influence (Class A misdemeanor). Pursuant to
Illinois law, Lamb must serve at least 50% of her sentence, followed
by 1 year of mandatory supervised release, and she was given 157
days credit for time served while in pretrial detention.
On February 4, 2025, Judge Jonathan Wright sentenced Amanda Miner (d.o.b.:
01-18-1985), of the block of 500 block of Pine Street, Mount
Pulaski, Illinois to the Illinois Department of Corrections for 6
years for aggravated identity theft and delivering drugs. In May of
2023, the Central Illinois Enforcement Group (an Illinois State
Police narcotics task force) conducted a covert operation in
Lincoln, Illinois, targeting Miner. During the operation, Miner sold
0.6 gram of a substance that tested positive for heroin and
fentanyl. After Miner was arrested for this offense, pursuant to
Illinois law, Miner was released from custody. Within a week of her
release, Miner stole an elderly person’s credit card and used it to
make personal purchases. Upon her new arrest, the court system was
able to revoke her prior release, and she was held in custody,
pending the conclusion of the case. As part of the sentence, Miner
is required to pay the elderly victim restitution for the money she
spent.

Miner’s criminal history
includes: 2009 Sangamon County Retail Theft (Class A
misdemeanor); 2018 Logan County Unlawful Possession of
Methamphetamine (Class 3 felony); 2018 Logan County Unlawful
Delivery of Methamphetamine (Class 2 felony); 2018 Logan County

Influence (Class 4 felony); 2006 Logan County Theft (Class A
misdemeanor); 2002 Logan County Forgery (Class 3 felony); and
2002 Logan County Battery (Class A misdemeanor). This is the
ninth and tenth case in which Miner has been sentenced to the
Illinois Department of Corrections. Pursuant to Illinois law,
Miner must serve at least 50% of her sentence, followed by 1
year of mandatory supervised release. Both of her sentences are
to be served concurrently (at the same time), and she was given
credit for 170 days on one case, and 166 days on the other case,
for time served while in pretrial detention.
On February 11, 2025, Judge Jonathan
Wright accepted a fully negotiated plea sending Allen Goodman (d.o.b.:
01-09-2003), of the block of 700 block of North Madison Street,
Lincoln, Illinois to the Illinois Department of Corrections for 3
years for theft, burglary, and possessing a firearm while being a
felon. On July 16, 2024, law enforcement conducted a covert
operation in Lincoln, Illinois, targeting Goodman. During the
operation, Goodman, who was a convicted felon, sold a shotgun to a
confidential source. Then, in the early morning hours of August 4,
2024, Lincoln Police were dispatched to a local business for a
report of a break in. The business owner reported missing equipment
and showed officers images of the suspect from a surveillance
system. From those images, officers were able to identify Goodman as
the suspect. In the early morning hours of February 3, 2025, Lincoln
Police were dispatched to a local business for a report of a break
in. The business reported a broken window and a missing laptop.
Video surveillance showed Goodman, who had been on pretrial release,
walking past the business right before the break in occurred. A few
days later, officers located Goodman carrying a backpack. Inside the
backpack, law enforcement found the business’s missing laptop.
Goodman was charged and pled guilty to all three incidents. In each
case, Goodman was sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment, to be served
concurrently with each other, meaning Goodman will serve the
sentences at the same time. Pursuant to Illinois law, Goodman must
serve at least 50% of each sentence and was given credit for the
time he spent in pretrial detention. Prior to committing these
offenses, Goodman’s criminal history was limited to a 2023 Logan
County Aggravated Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Peace Officer
(Class 4 felony).
