A 35-year-old Michigan man is heading to the slammer for five years after getting caught with a massive haul of crack in a Burlington, Vermont, bust. Deandre Watson was sentenced to 60 months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release, for possessing with intent to distribute 28 grams or more of cocaine base.
On October 9, 2025, the Burlington Police Department and DEA executed a search warrant at a Sherman Street residence, where they found Watson hiding behind a shower curtain with multiple chunks of crack in his hands.
Additional chunks were discovered in the bathtub, along with a red dinner plate and razor blade. In the dining room, officers found 38 grams of cocaine base, packaged for sale, along with a digital scale, plastic baggies, scissors, and a phone belonging to Watson.
The phone revealed evidence of drug sales dating back to September 1, 2025, and a total of 138 grams of cocaine base were seized from the residence.
