Riverside, CA: Man sentenced for bringing half ton of coke to Mich.

A major cocaine trafficker from California has been sentenced for delivering over a ton of cocaine to West Michigan and elsewhere.

Emond Durea Logan, 50, was sentenced to 35 years in prison after pleading guilty in September to conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

The U.S. Attorney's office says that Logan, along with his brother-in-law, Alvin Keith Jackson, delivered more than 1,000 kilograms (more than one ton) of cocaine from California to Michigan and returned to California with $35 million in drug proceeds. The deliveries took place between the summer of 2004 and January of 2007 and mostly distributed by a violent street gang in the Lansing area.

Jackson was sentenced to 19 years, 7 months in federal prison in 2009.

As part of the plea agreement, Logan also agreed to forfeit his residence in Riverside, California, a 2007 Maserati Quattroporte, a 2007 Mercedes Benz SL 500R, and a semi-trailer he used to transport the cocaine and proceeds across the country. Several other vehicles, bank accounts, jewelry and furs were also forfeited.

Several others involved in the operation have been apprehended and sentenced as well.
