MADISON, WIS. -- John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Terrence D. Jackson, 31, Milwaukee, Wis., was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to 180 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute heroin. Jackson pled guilty to this offense on Nov. 18, 2016.
Jackson pled guilty to conspiring to distribute heroin with his siblings, Charles Hall, 32, and Hurley Jackson, 34, and a third man, DeWight Williams, 38. All four conspirators are originally from Milwaukee. Hall and Williams also pled guilty to conspiring to distribute heroin. Hall was sentenced to 96 months in prison and Williams’s sentencing is scheduled for April 4, 2017. On Jan. 26, 2017, after a three-day jury trial, Hurley Jackson was found guilty of conspiring to distribute more than 1,000 grams of heroin and with distributing heroin. Hurley Jackson’s sentencing is scheduled for April 5, 2017.
Judge Conley imposed this lengthy sentence after finding that Jackson was responsible for distributing more than 1,000 grams of heroin, that he was a “manager or supervisor" of criminal activity involving five or more persons, and that his criminal history suggested that a long sentence was necessary to protect the public.
The Central Wisconsin Drug Task Force and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation, conducted the investigation leading to these guilty pleas and convictions. The prosecution of these cases is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy M. O’Shea.
