PACOIMA : Man Gets 20 Years for Drug Possession
A 33-year-old Pacoima man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for possessing about three ounces of crack cocaine, the U.S. attorney’s office said Tuesday.
Antonio Lambert Johnson, who was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Harry L. Hupp, was convicted of possessing crack cocaine with the intent to sell it, Assistant U.S. Atty. Monica Bachner said. State and federal drug agents discovered the drug in Johnson’s car and apartment on Jan. 31, she said.
Hupp imposed the minimum sentence on Johnson, who has a previous state narcotics conviction, Bachner said.
