Felix Reyes, Crack Cocaine Trafficking, Rhode Island 2012

A Woonsocket man has been taken down for his involvement in a crack cocaine trafficking ring.

Felix Reyes, 20, was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison for possession of crack cocaine with the intent to distribute. This sentence was handed down by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Mary M. Lisi on today.

Reyes was arrested by Woonsocket Police in March 2012 following a brief foot chase, after an officer on routine patrol noticed Reyes acting in a suspicious manner. As the officer approached Reyes, he fled, discarding a small package which police quickly retrieved. The package contained nearly 39 grams of crack cocaine. Reyes was arrested following a brief struggle.

According to information presented to the court, Reyes was previously convicted in state court on a drug charge, and is currently awaiting trial in state court on drug, assault and weapons charges.

Reyes has been detained since his arrest in March 2012. The federal drug case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gerard B. Sullivan.

Reyes will also serve 5 years of supervised release upon completion of his prison term. This is not the end of his legal troubles, as he is currently awaiting trial in state court on drug, assault and weapons charges.
