Addict Gets 4 Years for Selling Cocaine
A man convicted in June of selling crack cocaine and operating a crack house in west Ventura has been sentenced to four years and four months in prison.
But Alonzo Haynes, 38, will spend that time in the California Rehabilitation Center at Norco after a psychological evaluation showed he is addicted to cocaine, Ventura County Superior Court Judge Charles McGrath ruled Wednesday. Haynes was given a four-year sentence for selling cocaine and eight months for maintaining the crack house. Haynes and two others were arrested in a Feb. 26 raid on the crack house on Olive Street by SWAT teams from the Ventura Police Department and the Sheriff’s Department.
Duchon Fields, 23, and Dexter Williams, 23, were sentenced to the center by McGrath on Aug. 7 after they were convicted of selling crack cocaine.
