BEAUMONT — A Nacogdoches man man has been sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking violations. Rodney Stevenson, 26, pleaded guilty last August, to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 5 kilograms or more of crack cocaine. He was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison yesterday by U.S. District Judge Ron Clark.

Federal prosecutors say from 2008 to June 20, 2012, Donald Dixon, a.k.a. “Black”, Cedrick Fowler, a.k.a. “C” and “C-Murder”, Kerry Wayne Griffin, a.k.a. “Big Boy”, Omar Paunetto, Jose Angel Bustillos, Michael John Pereira, Rodney Stevenson, a.k.a. “Arod”, Darius Thorn, a.k.a. “Bs” and “Beez”, Tremaine Smith and Anthony Fowler conspired to traffic cocaine and crack cocaine throughout East Texas.

Stevenson’s role in the organization was to assist Cedrick Fowler in acquisition of cocaine and the distribution of cocaine base. Stevenson traveled with Cedrick Fowler on one or more occasions to purchase cocaine from Donald Dixon. On May 25, 2012, investigators executed an arrest warrant at Stevenson’s apartment and detained him after he attempted to flee. They found C. Fowler in a second bedroom of the apartment and Stevenson’s girlfriend in his bedroom. Underneath a pillow on Stevenson’s bed, agents recovered a FEG, 9mm, Model P9R, semiautomatic pistol. They also found 4 pounds of marijuana in the bedroom closet and a small amount of cocaine in a kitchen cabinet. They say Stevenson was responsible for distributing over 5 kilograms of cocaine
