Woman won’t talk, sentenced to 15 years
April 26, 2011 - tribtoday.com
WARREN - A 27-year-old Warren woman convicted of importing cocaine and heroin from Detroit was sentenced to 15 years behind bars Monday.
Brandi Lynn Watson of Wallace Street S.E. said little to Judge Peter Kontos but let her attorney Jeff Limbian point out that she had a clean criminal record except for a minor conviction for passing bad checks.
''She had a choice of doing four years and testifying against (a co-defendant), but she was convinced she could have been killed if she did that,'' Limbian said.
Assistant county prosecutor Chris Becker said Watson also will forfeit $1,250 found inside her home and another $8,000 being held in an escrow account by her bail bondsman.
Watson and the co-defendant and one-time boyfriend Frederick Johnson, 40, were both convicted earlier this month after a jury heard the trial over a two-week period.
''These weren't street-corner dealers,'' Becker said. ''They had $120,000 worth of heroin and $4,500 worth of cocaine. This should send a message to drug dealers.''
Johnson's sentencing was delayed until June 1.
Becker said Johnson, who previously served prison time for drugs, faces more than a 30-year maximum sentence.
Becker told jurors during the case how although agents with Trumbull Ashtabula Group Law Enforcement Task Force were already investigating Johnson and Watson, it was a high-speed chase through Warren on Jan. 15, 2010, that broke the case open.
Becker said TAG agents had two locations under surveillance and were following a car carrying both defendants, a .40 caliber Glock pistol, nearly 400 grams of heroin and 4.5 ounces of cocaine when the chase started on the east side, sometimes reaching speeds of 70 mph.
At one point on Porter Street N.E., the car driven by Johnson rammed an undercover car driven by a TAG agent.
The drugs and the gun were thrown out of the car and later recovered by police, and both suspects escaped from the vehicle on Belvedere Avenue, running in different directions. Watson was arrested later that night in a garage on Atlantic Street, and Johnson turned himself in to his parole officer in Liberty within a couple days.
Although Johnson did not testify, Watson took the witness stand, attempting to convince jurors that Kenneth Cook, an informant in the case, was the one driving the car. Her statements contradicted an unrecorded statement she made to TAG Detective Fred Raines and a federal agent several hours after the chase.
Cook is a mechanic who had borrowed money from Johnson to start a business and who has pleaded guilty to a drug charge and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.
Becker praised all the TAG agents, including Raines and lead investigator Rick Tackett.

That is not justice. Aside from the fact that these should be legally regulated drugs, the disparity between 4 years w/snitching and 15 years sentence is ridiculous. should be vice versa.
