SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -
A man considered a drug kingpin in and around Shreveport
will spend over two decades in prison.
The U.S. Attorney's Office sentenced 42-year-old Darien
Reliford of Shreveport to 27 years in prison for trafficking large amounts of
cocaine into the city.
In late December of 2011, Reliford and a dozen other people
were indicted after an extensive investigation by the Organized Crime and Drug
Enforcement Task Force. They found that Reliford would get large amounts of
cocaine from Dallas and sell it in Shreveport. Agents seized several kilograms
of cocaine worth an estimated $100,000, $120,000 in cash, and numerous
firearms.
Reliford's son, 23-year-old Darien Jones, was given six
years in prison for the same offense.
Others
sentenced for cocaine conspiracy are: Kurt Abrone: 36 months; Ochelata Reliford:
60 months; Derrick Waffer: 60 months; Timothy Ellis: 78 months: Randy Randall: 180
months, Lagashia Woodard:30 months; Cecil Cole: 120 months; Tamika Barrett: 60 months;
Reginald Lee: 60 months; Terry Pouncy: 72 months; and Robin Ray James: 240 months;
all Shreveport residents.
Back in February of this year, Reliford, his son and three
others indicted on the same charges were
accidentally freed from the Caddo Correctional Center. One was later found
at his home. The other four turned themselves in the following day.
