COVINGTON, KY—Demario Warren, 26, and Dave Landrum, 28, both of Cincinnati, Ohio were sentenced to lengthy prison terms by Judge David Bunning for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances. Warren was sentenced to 15 years in prison and Landrum received a 12-year sentence.

In the course of his guilty plea, Warren admitted to conspiring with others to distribute between 1.5 and 4.5 kilograms of cocaine base (crack cocaine). He sold cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin in this capacity. Landrum admitted that he conspired with others to distribute between 500 grams and 1.5 kilograms of crack cocaine.

“These were the first sentencings from a series of prosecutions that targeted a major supplier of cocaine and crack cocaine in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky,” said Assistant United States Attorney Tony Bracke. “Federal and state officials did an outstanding job of working together to make these cases possible.”

Under federal law, each defendant will have to serve at least 85 percent of his prison sentence before release. Warren was also assessed an eight-year term of supervised release after completion of his prison sentence. Landrum received a supervised release term of six years.

James A. Zerhusen, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Timothy D. Cox, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, jointly made the announcement today after Gray was sentenced. The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Covington Police Department. The United States was represented by Assistant United States Attorney Anthony J. Bracke.
