LaBelle (November 21, 2024) – Darius Jamarcus Redd was adjudicated guilty and sentenced, to a total of 204 months in prison, followed by 24 months of community control, followed by 120 months of probation, for drug trafficking cases. He was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine.
In May, the defendant was convicted of Trafficking in Phenethylamines – 10 grams or more, Unlawful Use of a Two-way Communication Device, Sale of a Controlled Substance within 1,000 ft. of a Public Park, and Possession of Transportation Paraphernalia, following a trial in Hendry County.
Sentencing was for that case as well as a second drug case from 2022 and for violating probation in two previous drug cases.
Assistant State Attorneys Kyle Bermingham and Haylie Gutierrez handled the entire prosecution.
The Hendry County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Unit arrested Redd, known on the street as “DRedd,” following an extensive undercover operation targeting illicit narcotics sales in the Clewiston area in 2022.
The defendant sold the drug “Molly,” also known as “MDMA,” twice while under surveillance. He sold the drugs from his vehicle, parked near an apartment complex. The complex is located near a county park, which led to the additional charge.
