From: United States Attorney Dana J. Boente, Eastern District of Virginia
"Francis Joseph Douglas, 33, of Dumfries, was sentenced today to 120 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and the use and carry of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.
Douglas pleaded guilty on September 7. According to court documents, Douglas sold cocaine from October 2014 until his initial arrest in August 2015. During this time, Douglas made bi-weekly trips to New York to obtain between $5,000 and $8,000 worth of cocaine, which Douglas redistributed in Prince William County. While distributing cocaine, Douglas was regularly armed with a Glock .40 caliber pistol with an extended magazine. Further, despite being convicted of multiple felonies, Douglas aided and abetted his wife in providing false statements during the purchase of four firearms for him, including an AK-47 and AR-15 rifle. On Nov. 12, 2015, Douglas also aided and abetted McGary Dean Williams in providing false statements during the purchase of two firearms from a federal firearms dealer located in Woodbridge."
