Grimy Times Exclusive: A Gary man has pleaded guilty to possessing with intent to distribute cocaine in a federal court case. D’Andre Lamonte Hall, 33, of Gary, Indiana, made the plea in U.S. Federal Court in Hammond, Indiana.
According to sources, the Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation that resulted in Hall’s guilty plea. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Padilla is prosecuting the case.
The charge against Hall carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, but the actual sentence will be determined by the judge after considering federal sentencing statutes and guidelines.
Hall’s sentencing is set for March 20, 2015, in U.S. Federal Court. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison for the felony offense of possessing with intent to distribute cocaine.
Law enforcement officials have not released further information on the case, but sources close to the investigation indicate that Hall’s guilty plea is a significant blow to local cocaine distribution networks.
