Two Escambia Residents Get Life In Federal Drug Case
August 11, 2011
Two Escambia County residents have been sentenced to life in prison in a federal drug case.
Terrence L Watson, 30, and Senica C Herbert, 34, received a life sentence from Senior U.S. District Judge Lacy Collier following their convictions for participating in a narcotics conspiracy involving five kilograms or more of cocaine.
The sentences were the latest of more than 20 convictions stemming from related Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) prosecutions by the United
States Attorneys Office in Pensacola over the last two years. The convictions have resulted in four life sentences and five sentences of 20 years or more on charges involving narcotics, firearms and related violence.
Those convicted have been from Florida, Alabama and Texas, including several defendants with direct ties to organized crime in Mexico, according to Pamela C. Marsh, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

Sad I no people who have murdered and get less time, sad……but if they work with fed they could get like 7 or 8 years #oversentencing at its worst
Sell drugs get life sell children get a few years maybe probation….maybe they should start selling and cooking meth it seems like those people get less time.Please dont get me wrong I hate drugs more than you can know but I really think this is a messed up thing I know of a few females who have been in that drug court thing and why are they able to get away with stuff over and over..maybe if they would lock up some of these people sometimes that would be great.
wow! life for drugs? that’s why our prison system is over crowded! yes they may have affected peoples lives that did the drugs, but come on. Big tobacco companies get away with countless deaths per year and all they have to do is put a warning on it! guess these guys should put a warning on their product
To Ms K: It isn’t just their own lives they’ve chosen to play with. They were part of a multi-state conspiracy that sought to profit from drug addictions of hundreds, if not thousands, of people for whose lives they had no regard. They knew what the consequences could be when they chose to follow this criminal life; they gambled (with others’ lives) and lost. By the way, they were found guilty by a jury of their peers. Pray for them, but thank God and our justice system that they got what they deserved. Way to go Law Enforcement!
Wow, they didn’t kill anyone, the users killed themselves by choosing that life. I know they may be habitual offenders in order to get life, but a person is murdered and the defendant gets 30 years and could be out in 10. I guess a human life is of no value.
Um…these young men get life, when a convicted sex offender gets 30 yrs for sexual battery n gets the girl pregnant??!! What a country we live in! Judicial system fails, YET AGAIN! Shaking my head!!!!
Good riddance! Have you ever noticed how these types always try to look so cool by drooping their eyelids?
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! 2 down ? to go. Trash, to sorry to attempt an honest living. They probably wouldn’t work an honest job if they had the opportunity. Just proves how rampant greed & the love of money is.
this sends a strong message…thank you for getting these thugs off the street!
