QUINCY, ILL. -- A Quincy woman is headed to prison this morning for her part in a major Adams County drug conspiracy.

An Adams County judge sentenced 19-year-old Shiya White to four years in prison after she pleaded guilty to selling cocaine.

She's one of eleven people arrested last year as part of the wide-spread investigation .

Another member of the drug ring, 28-year-old Angelo Riggs was sentenced last week to four years in prison from manufacturing and selling cocaine.

Investigators say the group was involved with a Chicago gang, and had been channeling large amounts of crack cocaine to Quincy for years.
