Conspiracy To Distribute Cocaine Los Angeles
Conspiracy To Distribute Cocaine Los Angeles
Leon is the mother of at least six known members of the Avenues street gang. The Leon home, which was a known center of drug activity, was ordered demolished by the city attorney. She is an illegal immigrant and had prior convictions for drug crimes, firearms violations and child endangerment, and has been deported to Mexico on two occasions.
When Leon was arrested earlier this year, police found cocaine, marijuana, weapons, ammunition, explosives and strong evidence of drug dealing in her home. At the time of the arrest, six children under the age of ten were residing in the home with Leon.
Conspiracy to distribute controlled substance charges are far more serious than standard possession charges. These crimes carry long sentences and can be tried in either federal or state courts. Conspiracy charges are reserved for drug dealers and the federal government has used these charges effectively to remove drug dealers from the streets.
