A Lakemoor man has been sentenced to eight years in prison following a bust where officers found large quantities of drugs, including fentanyl, being sold out of a motel in Woodstock.

Matt Jones, 46, of Lakemoor, and David Stodolny, 53, of Chicago, were both charged in March 2023 with manufacture or delivery of 15-100 grams of cocaine, manufacture or delivery of 15-100 grams of fentanyl, manufacture or delivery of over 200 grams of a schedule 1 or 2 drug, manufacture or delivery of over 5,000 grams of cannabis, possession of 15-100 grams of cocaine, possession of 15-100 grams of heroin, possession of over 200 grams of a schedule 1 or 2 drug and possession of over 5,000 grams of cannabis.

Stodolny was additionally charged with endangering the health or life of a child.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant on March 14, 2023, at a room in the Super 8 motel in Woodstock, located at 1220 Davis Road, court documents show.

The task force had received information regarding Jones actively selling narcotics out of multiple rooms at the motel, which is what led to the warrant, prosecutors said.

Stodolny, Jones and Jones’ child were in the room.

As officers made entry, around $3,200 in cash was thrown out of the window of the motel room.

Officers found a cocaine prep station inside the room along with multiple baggies, rubber bands, a scale and cocaine residue, court documents said.

Stodolny had around 45 grams of cocaine and fentanyl in multiple baggies.

David Stodolny, 53, of Chicago.

Further investigation led police to obtain a search warrant for another motel room at the Quality Inn & Suites, located at 1785 South Eastwood Drive in Woodstock.

That room was obtained by Stodolny and Jones, court documents said.

Over 5,000 grams of various cannabis items were recovered from both rooms.

Officers also found over 200 grams of psilocybin mushrooms in the Quality Inn room.

A juvenile was also charged in connection with the bust. Prosecutors said the three were working together selling the drugs out of the motel rooms.
