Ten people have been indicted on federal charges for distributing crack cocaine, including seven from Wright City. The local suspects who were charged are James L. Milliner, 42; Dante M. Brandt, 43; Michael B. Rogers, 45; Halesha C. Bradshaw, 36; Christopher D. Adams, 31; Antwaun M. Nunn, 43; and James E. Simpson, 47, all of Wright City. The other individuals who were charged are Porsheia I. Barnes, 30, and Cipriano M. Garcia, 35, both of Moscow Mills; and Charles E. McRoberts, 34, of Wentzville. Each individual was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 7 on one felony count of conspiracy to distribute in excess of 280 grams, or three-fourths of a pound, of crack cocaine, according to a news release. If convicted, the drug distribution charge carries a penalty range of 10 years to life in prison and/or fines up to $4 million. In determining the actual sentences, a judge is required to consider the U.S. sentencing guidelines, which provided recommended sentencing ranges. The case was investigated by the Warren and Lincoln sheriff's departments, the East Central Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeannette Graviss is handling the case for the U.S. Attorney's office.
