October 02, 2026

Defendants Include Mother, Son Who Sold Fentanyl Together

Chicago - Attorney General Kwame Raoul charged three people from the Chicago suburbs with delivering and attempting to deliver more than 280 grams of fentanyl in two months across two counties.

The Attorney General's office charged Stacy Campbell, 55 of Bellwood, Illinois; her son Cornelius Campbell, 34 of Bolingbrook, Illinois; and Oliver Beach, 28 of Joliet, Illinois in Lee County Circuit Court with multiple Class X felonies, including unlawful delivery and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Sentences are ultimately determined by the court. Their next court date is Nov. 19.

"The fentanyl epidemic has devastated far too many Illinois families and communities across our state," Raoul said. "Combatting this life-threatening crisis requires continued collaboration with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. I commend the work of the Illinois State Police in this case and together we will continue to hold individuals accountable for distributing fentanyl."

The Attorney General's office is prosecuting this case following a referral by the Illinois State Police's DuPage Metropolitan Enforcement Group (DUMEG).

Raoul's office alleges that in June and July of 2026, Beach drove Cornelius and Stacy to multiple locations in Cook and DuPage counties to deliver nearly 250 grams of fentanyl and attempt to deliver more than an additional 230 grams of fentanyl to an undercover DUMEG agent.

Stacy was charged with four Class X felonies, including:

• Two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.
• One count of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
• One count of unlawful criminal drug conspiracy.

Cornelius was charged with eight Class X felonies, including:

• Six counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.
• One count of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
• One count of unlawful criminal drug conspiracy.

Beach was charged with seven Class X felonies, including:

• Five counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.
• One count of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
• One count of unlawful criminal drug conspiracy.

The public is reminded that the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Raoul's Statewide Grand Jury Bureau is authorized by Illinois statute to prosecute multi-county cases involving drugs, money laundering, guns or electronics. Working regularly with state and federal counterparts, the bureau focuses on complex, often large-scale, organized criminal activity.

Assistant Attorney General Neal Thompson is prosecuting the case for the Statewide Grand Jury Bureau.
