A Trenton man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on drug conspiracy charges.
David Willey, a 41-year-old Trenton man, is in federal custody, according to Don Ledford, public affairs officer for the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Western Division. He was arrested on Sept. 15 after the indictment was unsealed and is being held without bond, charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute over 1,000 kilograms of marijuana. The indictment alleges that Willey worked with nine others and possibly more to distribute the controlled substance. The charge is a class A felony and, if convicted, Willey could face a prison term of 10 years to life and/or face a $10,000 fine.
Others charged in the indictment (no addresses were available) include James N. Allen, 38; Mark Fields, 49; David L. Hudson, 38; Kevin D. Williams, 31; Dominic Serrone, 36; Jermaine L. Douglas, 40; Eric S. Goodwin, 50; Chauncey Coody, 44; and Scott Marshall, 41. With the exception of Coody, all defendants are facing the conspiracy charge. Allen is facing not only the conspiracy charge but also a class A felony of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and a class C felony of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Fields, Williams and Coody are all facing the money laundering charge.
Ledford said Willey is tentatively scheduled for trial on Nov. 30, but he believes that date will be postponed.
