COVINGTON, KY—A Cincinnati, Ohio man admitted in federal court today that he conspired to distribute large quantities of crack cocaine. He will receive a minimum of 10 years in prison when he is sentenced.

Maraill Miller, 33, pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to distribute cocaine base (crack cocaine). In the course of his guilty plea, Maraill Miller admitted that he was involved in the distribution of more than 50 grams of crack cocaine and more than 500 grams of powder cocaine. Miller and his brother Gerraill Miller were initially indicted in November of 2009, for a conspiracy to distribute powder cocaine and crack cocaine.

Gerraill Miller entered a guilty plea in April of 2010. Gerraill Miller admitted to the distribution of more than five kilograms of powder cocaine and more than 50 grams of crack.

The two men supplied cocaine and crack cocaine to others who distributed the drugs in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky.

Kerry B. Harvey, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Elizabeth A. Fries, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, jointly made the announcement today after Maraill Miller entered his guilty plea.

The investigation was conducted jointly by the Federal Bureau Investigation’s Safe Streets Task Force and the Covington Police Department. The United States was represented in the case by Assistant United States Attorney Anthony J. Bracke.

Both Maraill and Gerraill Miller are currently scheduled to appear for sentencing before United States District Court Judge David Bunning in Covington, Ky., on August 19, 2010, at 10:30 a.m. Maraill Miller faces a minimum prison sentence of 10 years and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Gerraill Miller faces a minimum prison sentence of 20 years and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

However, any sentence would be imposed by the court after consideration of the United States Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of sentences.
