Crack Cocaine Ring Busted In Wythe County, Va.

Six of seven men believed by authorities to be involved in a crack cocaine ring were rounded up late Thursday and early Friday, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia.
A federal grand jury indicted the group Thursday, charging them with selling the potent drug in Wythe County from February 2007 through April of this year.

“These men were responsible for bringing large amounts of crack cocaine into our area,” Acting U.S. Attorney Julia C. Dudley said in a news release issued Friday.

Each man could face a life sentence and as much as $16 million in fines if convicted on the distribution charges. Six of the men are from Wytheville, Va., and one is from Detroit, Mich., according to the news release.

Involved in the investigation were the Wythe County Sheriff’s Office, the Wytheville Police Department, the Virginia State Police and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

“I think this is a fine example of interdepartmental cooperation, ensuring that a crack distribution ring has been dismantled,” said Wythe County Sheriff Doug King.

Indicted and arrested were:

* Andrae Rodregas Davis, 28, of Wytheville, charged with drug conspiracy, using a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, and six counts of possessing crack cocaine with the intent to distribute.
* Reginald Anderson, 37, of Wytheville, charged with drug conspiracy and four counts of distributing crack cocaine.
* Vincent Pernell Kyle, 39, of Wytheville, charged with drug conspiracy and three counts of possessing crack cocaine with the intent to distribute.
* Landon Demetrius Taylor, 27, of Wytheville, charged with drug conspiracy.
* Marcus Lamonte Davis, 35, of Wytheville, charged with drug conspiracy.
* Christopher Taylor, 26, of Wytheville, charged with drug conspiracy.

Also indicted was 43-year-old Detroit resident David Tony Moore, who remains at large. His charges include drug conspiracy and possessing crack cocaine with the intent to distribute.

Comment by nicodelic on July 28, 2008 at 10:30pm: how can u be so ignorant?if the same cat sold drugs to yo family would u still show love to em?if yo fam got caught up in the line of fire while them suckaz was wildin` will u still show love?drugs is destroying the communities and u hope they can find a quite town and lock it down?

what world do u live in,or how much would u sell yo soul for a buck?one way in but 2 ways our,dead or in jail.
drug dealing and killing,whether they use guns or the drugz people O D from.and u wanna walk around proud like u a man for that?once u get to the top,u get knocked,dead or in jail.

Set an example for yo people and future kids.all this negative talk just shows fear of admitting that don`t no one want that around the fam,people or friends.instead of finding a different way u wanna stay in the same lane.well hope u`ll be sane enough coz when sh*t hits the fan,it`ll be the same suckaz to jump ship.
