Wisconsin man who used multiple homes to store, sell large quantities of cocaine receives prison sentence
BELOIT, Wis. (WFRV) – A man from southern Wisconsin who reportedly used multiple homes to store and sell large quantities of cocaine was sentenced to federal prison on Thursday.
A release provided by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin stated that 41-year-old Kelvin Haley, Jr. of Beloit was sentenced to federal prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine from July 2021 to August 2023.
A federal investigation during that time frame led authorities to discover multiple homes in the Beloit area that were reportedly used by Haley to store and sell cocaine. Law enforcement conducted recorded purchases of cocaine from Haley on multiple occasions between November 2022 and March 2023.
Haley was sentenced to eight and a half years in federal prison by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley. Judge Conley had also previously convicted Haley for drug trafficking, the release noted.
Judge Conley stated how Haley was a ‘central figure’ in selling large amounts of cocaine in the Beloit area.
Haley’s prison term will be followed by 10 years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty on March 25.
The investigation into Haley was conducted by the Rock County Sheriff’s Office, Beloit Police Department, Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
