Man gets 13 years for possession of cocaine

URBANA – A 29-year-old Champaign man who police and prosecutors say has had an active criminal life since about the age of 10 was sentenced Wednesday to 13 years in prison.

In December, a jury convicted Joseph Lee Johnson, whose last known address was in the 2700 block of West Kirby Avenue, of possession with intent to deliver cocaine and resisting a peace officer.
