A 31-year-old Amarillo man was found guilty of money laundering in 97th District Court Thursday and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Barry Willis Jr. was arrested July 5, 2014 for speeding by the Department of Public Safety outside Bowie, but discovering a large amount of cash law officers began to investigate further, which led to the charge of money laundering.
Assistant District Attorney Kevin Henry tried the case that began Tuesday with jury selection. He explained Willis was found with just under $10,000 in cash during that traffic stop. He also had a misdemeanor amount of marijuana.
