Leroy Roebuck Jr., 37, of St. Croix, was sentenced by District Judge Wilma A. Lewis to 97
months incarceration, three years of supervised release, a fine of $2,000.00, and a $100 special assessment following his guilty plea to conspiracy to possess a controlled
substance with intent to distribute, United States Attorney Delia L. Smith announced.
According to court documents, on April 25, 2023, Roebuck arranged for the sale of 60 kilograms of cocaine to an undercover agent at a cost of $900,000.00. On April 26,
2023, Roebuck contacted the undercover agent and agreed to sell the agent 50 kilograms
of cocaine after he discovered that the remaining 10 kilograms were of poor quality.
Thereafter, on April 26, 2023, Roebuck and an unidentified individual arrived at a
predetermined location to complete the sale of the cocaine. Roebuck asked the undercover
agent if he wanted to see the cocaine, after which he showed the agent four containers that held varying quantities of individually wrapped bricks of cocaine. Roebuck was then
placed under arrest.
