Demont Story, of 14408 Brandon Court in Dale City, faces a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine. Police charged 17 people, one from the Dale City area, with distributing massive amounts of cocaine in Prince William County. Multiple kilograms of cocaine from Chicago, with a street value of nearly $20,000, were distributed throughout the county, officials announced at a Monday afternoon press conference. “The myth that large scale cocaine trafficking is not present in this area, we are proving today that it is here,” Joseph Persichini, assistant director of the FBI Washington, D.C. Field Office said.
Officials said Story for many years coordinated the purchase of the drugs, transporting them from Chicago and selling them in Prince William, said Persichini.
When officials began their investigation in 2005 they found Story had employed his uncle, Dennis Story, of Chicago, to transport the drugs from Chicago to Virginia. Both were arrested in March. The trafficking operation began in 2004, however, it is unclear how many kilograms of cocaine were sold in Prince William County, Persichini said. Officials also would not speculate on how much money the drug ring brought in. Another Woodbridge man who officials said conspired with Story is still on the loose. Gary Lewis, 33, of 2140 Jennings Street, also faces federal charges of conspiracy to distribute five or more kilos of cocaine.
