3 years 1 month ago

It is a mystery.

EAST ST. LOUIS - Delon Echols, 31, of Belleville, was convicted by a federal jury on Thursday, September 29, 2022, for sending MDMA through the mail with the intent to later distribute it. According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Echols utilized the Dark Web to order MDMA from the Netherlands.

In August of 2019, the individual learned about the package containing narcotics and immediately went to the Mascoutah Police Department.
