Crack Cocaine Distribution Ring Busted in Indiana
A 46-year-old man from Michigan City, Indiana, has been accused of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.
Kevin Howell, a Michigan City resident, has been charged with the felony offense and is set to be sentenced on July 17, 2013, according to court documents.
The investigation into Howell’s activities was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force, which uncovered evidence of his involvement in the distribution of crack cocaine.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Frank Schaffer, who has been working closely with law enforcement agencies to bring those responsible for the distribution of illicit substances to justice.
Howell, if convicted, faces a sentence to be determined by the court after a consideration of federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
The case is a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle against drug trafficking in the United States, and the importance of continued cooperation between law enforcement agencies and the justice system.
Kevin Howell’s case is a testament to the dedication of law enforcement agencies in Indiana and their commitment to protecting the community from the scourge of drug trafficking.
