BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A Rutland man was sentenced on Friday to more than 15 years in federal prison in a drug trafficking and firearms case.
Lawrence “Boo-Bee” Jackson, 53, was convicted in April of leading a drug trafficking operation in Rutland between 2020 and 2021.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Vermont says during that time, he sold large quantities of cocaine and pistol-whipped multiple people.
Evidence also shows Jackson sexually assaulted women and was involved with sex trafficking around Rutland.
