Three Charlottesville men pleaded guilty Friday morning to charges related to a conspiracy to distribute cocaine and ecstasy.
Michael Samuel Scott, 23, Kevin Thomas, 38 and Omar Perez Taylor, 23, were indicted in February 2011 on charges related to a conspiracy to distribute drugs in the Charlottesville area.
“Stopping the distribution of illegal drugs in our community will always be a substantial law enforcement priority. We will vigorously prosecute those who profit from the drug trade,” United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said.
Scott pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute ecstasy and one count of possession with the intent to distribute 28 grams or more of crack cocaine. He faces a penalty of up to 20 years incarceration on the conspiracy count and up to 40 years incarceration on the crack cocaine count.
Thomas pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute ecstasy and one count of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more or powder cocaine. He faces a penalty of up to 20 years incarceration on the conspiracy count and up to 40 years incarceration on the powder cocaine count.
Taylor pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute ecstasy and two counts of possessing a firearm after previously being convicted of a
felony. He faces a penalty of up to 20 years incarceration on the conspiracy count and 10 years for each firearm offense.
Sentencing hearings for all three have been scheduled for August 31.
