In a major blow to the region’s narcotics trade, Demetrius Roberson, 51, of Michigan City, Indiana, has been sentenced to 88 months in prison for his role in a cocaine distribution ring.
According to documents in the case, between December 2022 and February 2023, Roberson sold cocaine on seven occasions, totaling approximately two ounces.
A search warrant executed at Roberson’s house in February 2023, resulted in the recovery of almost 400 grams of cocaine, one pound of marijuana, two handguns, and over $5,000.00.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with assistance from the LaPorte County Drug Task Force, the Michigan City Police Department, the Indiana State Police Laboratory, and the LaPorte County Prosecutor’s Office.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Katelan McKenzie Doyle.
Roberson was also found to be in possession of a firearm, which is a serious offense given his history as a convicted felon.
Under the terms of the sentence, Roberson will serve 88 months in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release.
