One of two people, arrested after police discovered a working meth lab in their motel room last May, was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison. 28 year old Michael Jones of East Peoria pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture meth. He and 22 year old Courtney Ewing of Peoria Heights were arrested by East Peoria police after police responded to a domestic call at the Super Eight Motel. Authorities say they found a meth lab in one of the rooms.
