Exeter Man Sentenced to 11 Years for Selling Crack Cocaine at Mohegan Sun Casino
Sekou Lashley, 36, of Exeter, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to 132 months’ imprisonment for distributing cocaine base (crack) at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Plains Township, Pennsylvania.
On March 19, 2015, Lashley sold four bags of crack cocaine to a confidential informant at the casino bar, a crime that earned him a 120-month sentence. At the time, Lashley was serving a term of federal supervised release associated with a 2008 conviction for conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute more than a kilogram of heroin.
Lashley’s actions not only put lives at risk but also undermined the integrity of the Mohegan Sun Casino, a popular destination for entertainment and leisure. The case highlights the devastating consequences of crack cocaine trafficking and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts in combating these crimes.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who brought Lashley to justice after a thorough investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Phillip J. Caraballo prosecuted the case, ensuring that Lashley faced the full weight of the law for his crimes.
As a result of his guilty plea, Lashley will also serve a three-year term of supervised release, to commence at the conclusion of his term of imprisonment. This sentence serves as a stark reminder that those who engage in drug trafficking will be held accountable for their actions.
The 132-month sentence imposed on Lashley is a testament to the dedication of law enforcement and prosecutors in bringing those who commit these crimes to justice. It is our hope that this sentence will serve as a deterrent to others who would seek to engage in similar activities.
The people of Exeter and the surrounding area can rest easier knowing that Sekou Lashley is off the streets and facing the consequences of his actions. Our thoughts are with the victims and families affected by Lashley’s crimes, and we hope that this sentence will bring them a measure of closure and justice.
