Midnight bust nabs alleged drug dealer; cocaine involved
SALINE CO.—A familiar face in Harrisburg is behind bars once again after Saline County lawmen were busy late last night into the wee hours of this morning capturing a man they have been on the lookout for for the past couple of days.
Cecil Gulley from March 2010 arrest
Sources close to the family have informed Disclosure that Cecil Gulley, 50, was taken into custody at his daughter’s home located at 100 East Park St., Harrisburg at midnight (01.21.11) by members of the Southern Illinois Drug Task Force and Harrisburg Police Department.
While members of the family voiced displeasure at the hour of the arrest, police sources indicate the timing was nothing more than happenstance.
“Gulley has been fairly elusive over the past several months during the investigation leading up to this arrest,” the source said. “The warrant came down a couple days ago and this just happened to be the first opportunity to pin him down.”
Lawmen at the scene said Gulley offered no resistance with the exception of “running his mouth” as one of the officers later described. (Apparently there was no use of his infamous walking cane, as happened with a previous arrest last March after mob action at his house).
He was taken into custody by Illinois State Police Inspector David Blazier and booked on formal charges including two counts of Class X felony Unlawful Delivery of Cocaine; one count of Class 1 felony Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine and Unlawful Delivery of Hydrocodone.
Sources indicate that Gulley also had pseudoephedrine in his possession at the time of his arrest but has not been charged for it as of yet.
Gulley is well-known for his varied criminal history in Harrisburg, as well as his ‘friendliness’ with other well-known criminal names in Saline County, including Arnulfo Fonseca. In fact, when Fonseca was up on murder charges in 2007, Gulley, then in DOC, wrote to Fonseca sister Connie, opining on his views of the Jade Winston murder in Carrier Mills, a murder which remains unsolved but which the finger of blame has has been pointed at other ‘burg lowlifes, the Curtises, Jason and John C. Jr. (John C. having yet to be sentenced for the killing of Toby Jump; see related posts).
Gulley is currently being held in the Saline County Detention Center on $150,000 cash bond.

Jack you there are officers of the law that will still do there job no matter who you are, how rich or poor you are. There are still some damn good officers out there. If you have this letter you should take it to the attorney general.
@iptf: WE HAVE. There is NOTHING that can be done when a prosecutor refuses to do his job.
And bear in mind, I’m not saying the officers here refuse to do theirs. They did a damn good job handling both thefts we had as well as the B&E and criminal damage to property. But reports is where it STOPS. Once they turn in their reports, the prosecutor refuses to charge. In Nov. 2007 we had a confession. Still no charges. So I’M the law in Wolf Holler.
Wow…. You can’t play victim when no actual damage has been done and you can’t blame a man for defending himself against threats…. Surely Catch has spent enough time in the courthouse/jail to have picked up on that?

Jack, I have about 3,000 rounds of 223 if you run low. I am going to a gun show in Louisville KY next month and plan on loading up on 30 round mags as I only have about 10 right now. Let me know.
Dennis….. Would that gun show happen to be the Knob Creek Machine gun shoot??
Actually, it is called the “Show of Shows” and is a militaria show but is always loaded with weapons, and weapon related stuff, etc.
I am familiar with the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot, there is a friend that always takes his MG-34 there.

Miki is the most amazing person in the world, and for you to bring her past up in this is shitty of you! not only is she the grandmother of my nieces she is also my co worker! i spend more time with her than you ever did in junior high/now!! and Seriously you think kenny is posting on here let me tell you something he is the type who will get on here and read what bullshit you put on here but wont comment cause he wouldnt want to stoop to you level!!

Kristi, Indeed Michelle is an amazing woman! She always has been to go through what she has had to endure in life. Of course, if she is a co-worker of yours,along with the grandmother of your nieces, you DO spend more time with her than any of us did in Junior High, but don’t forget about our High school years! I, personally am so very thankful that she is doing well!!! She has always had a very gentle nature about her & a very kind soul!! That is how I choose to remember her because I have NEVER seen any different!
Apparently I am lost in this whole conversation, is this over Mr. Gulley? I think that the day that Mr. Gulley was arrested I drove by him as he was walking, I seen one Harrisburg police officer pass him right by, well as we all know the infamous Mr. Gulley is very easy to spot by his limp, if there had been a warrant issued for him that morning why did the HPD not pick him up then, I know that there were three false reports called in on him over the last three weeks, unfounder, house searched etc. but to no avail, what’s up with these shitheads you all call policeman, Raymond Martin was a drug dealer and he did a better job than them, but hey if I was making the money he was I may have been more laid back too lol
