Federal Jury Convicts Escambia Man In Armed Drug Conspiracy
July 7, 2011
An Escambia County man was found guilty by a federal jury Wednesday afternoon on charges relating to a conspiracy to distribute cocaine in Pensacola, according to United States Attorney Pamela C. Marsh, Northern District of Florida.
Telly Jamar Hill, 28, faces life imprisonment on the charges when he is sentenced in September by Chief United States District Judge M. Casey Rodgers.
The federal indictment alleged Hill and others were involved in the distribution of large amounts cocaine and “crack” cocaine as well as in the possession of firearms to further the drug conspiracy.
During the trial, the jury heard evidence of multiple cocaine seizures from Hill. The jury also heard testimony regarding death threats to a member of the Pensacola community who was aiding law enforcement in its investigation. These threats, as well as a drive-by shooting of this person’s residence, were linked to Hill through his cellular telephone records.
