Orlando, Florida – U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharp
today sentenced Dondi Kentrail Freeney (34, Sanford) to seven years and six
months in federal prison, and Telvin Javon Williams (25, Sanford) to five years
in federal prison, for their roles in a cocaine trafficking conspiracy. Freeney
and Williams had pleaded guilty on June 25, 2019.
On August 9, 2019, a federal jury found Benjamin Greene
Robinson (32, Daytona Beach) guilty for his role in this same conspiracy. A
final conspirator, Antonio Toray Chandler (39, Belle Isle), has signed a plea
agreement and is scheduled to appear in court on September 20, 2019.
According to court documents, and testimony and evidence
presented during Robinson’s trial, in January 2016, the conspirators arranged
for multiple shipments of cocaine to be sent through the U.S. Postal Service
(USPS) from California to various addresses in Daytona and Sanford. During the
investigation, the FBI and the USPS seized three packages of the packages, each
containing two kilograms of cocaine hidden inside tubs of protein powder. Law
enforcement identified five additional shipments that the conspirators had
successfully shipped through the mail. In 2016, during the month of January,
the conspirators were responsible for shipping 14 kilograms of cocaine through
the mail, estimated to be worth of $490,000.
Freeney was involved in all aspects of the scheme, including
arranging for payments and shipments and tracking down lost packages. Williams
provided cash to Freeney and also received one of the 2-kilogram packages in Sanford.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, with assistance from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the
Lake County Sherriff’s Office, and the Volusia Bureau of Investigation. It is
being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Dana E. Hill.
