Roger Deundrea Jackson, also known as “Boo-Cat” and “Cat,” has been sentenced to 168 months in federal prison for his role in a cocaine distribution conspiracy. The 40-year-old Dallas man pleaded guilty in November 2015 to two counts of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater, following an investigation led by the Dallas Police Department, Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, and the Dallas FBI – Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Force. Jackson was one of 21 defendants indicted in the case, with 19 pleading guilty and 15 already sentenced.
According to documents filed in the case, Jackson possessed with the intent to distribute approximately 188 grams of cocaine and approximately 295 grams of cocaine base in the Dallas area between January 2013 and May 2015. The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Phelesa Guy prosecuting.
The joint operation that led to Jackson’s arrest in May 2015 also resulted in the arrest of 20 additional defendants, mostly from north Texas and Oklahoma. Charges against one defendant were dismissed, and one remains a fugitive. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat cocaine distribution and other drug-related crimes in the Dallas area.
U.S. Attorney John Parker of the Northern District of Texas announced the sentence, stating that the conviction and sentencing of Jackson demonstrate the commitment of federal and local law enforcement to prosecuting those involved in drug distribution conspiracies. The sentence of 168 months in federal prison serves as a significant deterrent to others who may be involved in similar criminal activities.
The investigation and prosecution of Jackson’s case are a testament to the collaboration and cooperation between federal and local law enforcement agencies. The Dallas Police Department, Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, and the Dallas FBI – Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Force worked together to gather evidence and build a case against Jackson and the other defendants. The result is a significant sentence that reflects the seriousness of the crimes committed.
In conclusion, the sentencing of Roger Deundrea Jackson to 168 months in federal prison is a major victory for law enforcement in the fight against cocaine distribution and other drug-related crimes. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of cooperation and collaboration between federal and local agencies in combating these types of crimes. As the investigation and prosecution of similar cases continue, it is likely that more individuals will be held accountable for their involvement in drug distribution conspiracies.
