According to a recent statement from United States Attorney William Ihlenfeld, Freeman pleaded guilty to one count of Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute and to Distribute Cocaine Hydrochloride and Cocaine Base. This charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years of incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000.
The charges against Freeman stem from his involvement in a conspiracy to sell cocaine from July 2020 to August 2021. His actions, which were carried out in collaboration with others, had a significant impact on the community and put innocent lives at risk.
