Offense: Count one: Conspiracy to distribute 5 kilos of crack cocaine in Violation of Title 21, U.S.C. 841(a)
(Duke) telephoned Black Brown and arranged for the purchase of 5 kilos of crack cocaine. Duke later traveled to the meeting location, at 539 seven mile, Detroit, Michigan, and advised the agents in charge of the case that the vehicle of connect man was at the residence. Moments later, Brown and White drove up to the home in a black Benz. Duke informed Black that he had the five kilos of crack cocaine but Duke would have to go get it from the connect man at the “trap.” (The trap is a drug-dealing location used to avoid association with the drug dealers.) The U.C.A. traveled to the trap, met with Connect man and purchased five kilos of crack cocaine for $100,000 in cash Brown then called the U.C.A. to report that the 1/4 that remained of the transaction would arrive at the location shortly to buy crack cocaine from U.C.A. for $1,575. During a telephone call with Brown, Duke was told that the “mail box” 1/4 of crack would be ready shortly. Duke then told Brown to meet him “up top,” which was a code for Connect man’s “trap” on seven mile in Detroit. Duke and Brown later met at the location on seven mile and transacted the 1/4 crack cocaine that was the other part of the original deal on 5 kilos purchase and sale of cocaine. The crack cocaine retrieved weighed 1/4
