VENTURA : 3 Men Convicted of Selling Cocaine
A Ventura County Superior Court jury convicted three men Tuesday of selling crack cocaine from a dilapidated house in west Ventura in February.
Alonzo Haynes, 38, was convicted on one count each of maintaining a house for illicit narcotics sales and selling crack cocaine. Duchon Fields, 23, of Ventura was convicted on two counts of selling crack cocaine but acquitted on a third count. Dexter Williams, 23, was convicted on one count of selling crack cocaine.
All three were being held in the Ventura County Jail pending their sentencing hearing, scheduled for July 10.
The men were arrested in a Feb. 26 raid on the house at 948 Olive St. by SWAT teams from the Ventura Police Department and the Sheriff’s Department.
During the trial, a police informant testified that she bought small quantities of crack at the house from Fields and Haynes on Feb. 13 and from Williams on Feb. 14.
