Kansas City, Kansas, – In a shocking display of lawlessness, two men from Kansas City, Kansas, were sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for their roles in a plot to commit an armed robbery at a drug house.
According to Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall, Enoch Clark, III, 26, Kansas City, Kan., and Dalevon L. Dixon, 24, Kansas City, Kan. pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine in U.S. District Court.
The crime was committed in October 2014, when the pair agreed with an undercover agent to rob a narcotics stash house, believed to contain more than 10 pounds of cocaine. The plot involved several meetings, during which it was decided that anyone resisting would be shot.
Co-defendants in the case include:
- Cornell Jones, who was sentenced to 135 months in federal prison.
- Devronn H. Sportsman, who was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison.
- Dwone C. Heard, who was sentenced to 12 months on supervised release.
- Julian Rodriguez, who is set for sentencing on December 19.
The case was led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with the assistance of Assistant U.S. Attorney Terra Morehead.
The two men were arrested on November 14, 2014, at a storage lot in Kansas City, Kansas, where investigators seized three pistols and a rifle.
The sentencing marks a significant victory in the fight against organized crime in Kansas City. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
