U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that DERRICK WILSON, age 34, of Franklinton, Louisiana, pled guilty today to conspiring to distribute a quantity of cocaine hydrochloride, stemming from a Sept. 27, 2015, traffic stop in Kenner, during which police seized one-half kilogram of powder cocaine from a car that he occupied with his girlfriend and codefendant, Dominique Wise. WILSON faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $1,000,000 and at least three years of supervised release.
U.S. District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman scheduled sentencing for WILSON on Oct. 10, 2018.
