Tampa, Florida – U.S. District Judge Richard A. Lazzara
today sentenced Gerald Robinson (41, Orlando) to ten years and one month in
federal prison for conspiring with others to distribute cocaine. He pleaded
guilty on May 30, 2014.
According to court documents and evidence presented at
sentencing, Robinson was a kilogram-level cocaine distributor in the Orlando
area. In 2010 and 2011, he distributed approximately 40 kilograms of cocaine.
Robinson’s source of supply, Earl Hampton, was previously convicted as part of
this investigation. He was sentenced to
30 years’ imprisonment by U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew on June 19,
2013.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Metropolitan Bureau of
Investigation, with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, the
Clearwater Police Department, and the Lee County Sheriff's Office, as part of
an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation. The
principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt, and dismantle
the most serious drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and money laundering
organizations, and those primarily responsible for the nation's illegal drug
supply. The case was also investigated as part of ATF’s Frontline Strategy. It
was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Christopher F. Murray.
