Lawrence Man Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison on Federal Drug Charges, Reports U.S. Attorney
28 June 2006 A former resident of Lawrence was sentenced today to 12 years in federal prison for selling crack cocaine.
United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan; Kenneth W. Kaiser, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New England; Colonel Mark Delainey, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police; Glenn N. Anderson, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and John Romero, Chief of the Lawrence Police Department, announced today that LUIS RODRIGUEZ, a/k/a "One Eyed Luis," age 33, of 56 Springfield Street, Lawrence, Massachusetts, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Reginald C. Lindsay to 12 years' imprisonment, to be followed by 6 years of supervised release.
At the earlier plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that, if the case had proceeded to trial, the evidence would have shown that RODRIGUEZ sold crack cocaine to a cooperating witness ("CW") working for a joint federal/state task force investigating gang activity in Lawrence and Lowell Massachusetts. The government also identified RODRIGUEZ as an associate of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation in an earlier affidavit.
The case was investigated by a joint federal, state and local task force led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Other agencies actively involved in the Task Force's activities include the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Massachusetts State Police, the Lawrence Police Department, the Essex County Sheriff's Department, and the Essex County District Attorney's Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys in Sullivan's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.
