Cocaine conspiracy nabs 23 — match the accused with their nicknames
A federal grand jury has indicted 23 people for their alleged roles in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine.
Federal prosecutors called it a “major drug trafficking organization.” The 17-count federal indictment alleges that all 23 people have been
involved in a
conspiracy to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine and 50 grams
or more of crack cocaine since July 1, 2009.
The body of one of the men indicted, John L. Hooker, was found wrapped
in a garbage bag and stuffed in a shopping cart behind a home near 45th
Street and Askew on May 27. Loyal Hayes has been charged with killing Hooker and his brother, Joseph Hooker.
Kansas City police are calling three of the defendants — Jason R. Carter, Andreya D. Jones and Dorothea L. Cain — “fugitives.”
Most of the accused, according to the feds, have colorful nicknames. See if you can match the defendant with his or her nickname.
