Baltimore Man Sentenced To 12 Years For Cocaine Possession

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A Baltimore man is sentenced to more than 12 years in prison after he's found with a large sum of cocaine.

U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake sentenced 30-year-old Langston Jackson, of Baltimore, Wednesday to 151 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for possession with the intent to distribute cocaine.

According to Jackson's plea agreement, on October 10, 2013, investigators executed a search warrant at Jackson's residence in Baltimore. Jackson was found at the location and a search recovered narcotics packaged for street level distribution and narcotics packaging materials.

A search of Jackson's vehicle recovered a large sum of cash.  Jackson then told investigators that he was storing cocaine at another residence in Baltimore.

Later that day, agents searched that location and found in a room used by Jackson, approximately 25 grams of cocaine, a large sum cash and additional narcotics packaging materials, including three digital scales.
