Macoupin County State’s Attorney Jordan Garrison announced on Friday that Patrick Greer of Mt. Olive was sentenced to 13 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for methamphetamine delivery and burglary. Greer had been held in the Macoupin County Jail since February 2025 when he was initially charged with the burglary offense.
Greer was driving on Route 66 in Mt. Olive on March 14, 2024, when he was observed driving without a seat belt. Sgt. Roger Diveley from the Macoupin County Sheriff’s Office was called for assistance and his K9 partner Mac indicated on the vehicle. A search found approximately 30 grams of methamphetamine, 4 grams of cocaine, and 11 grams of fentanyl. The investigation was passed onto Insp. Matt Marburger of the Macoupin County Sheriff’s Department who was able to determine Greer had brought the drugs into Macoupin County to deliver them.
In an unrelated matter, Det. Lt. Ryan Dixon investigated a burglary that occured at Hickory Grove Farms in Macoupin County. Surveillance video identified Greer as one of the suspects. During the investigation, Lt. Dixon and Insp. Marburger were able to obtain consent to search Greer’s vehicle where they located the stolen property.
“Dedicated law enforcement officers were able to work methodically to take another career criminal off the streets,” Garrison said. “Those who seek to sell drugs and profit on the addiction of others can expect to see the same fate. I would like to thank the Macoupin County Sheriff’s Office and the South Central Illinois Drug Task Force for their work in this matter, particularly Detective Lt. Ryan Dixon, Sgt. Matt Marburger, Sgt. Roger Diveley, and Deputy Jake Zimmer for their stellar work in this matter.”
