United States v. Kindle, No. 10-3725 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseFour defendants were convicted of: conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine, 21 U.S.C. 846 (Count One); attempted possession with intent to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine, 21 U.S.C. 846 (Count Two); possession of four firearms during and in relation to a drug trafficking offense, 18 U.S.C. 924(c)(1)(A) (Count Three); and possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony,18 U.S.C.922(g)(1) (Count Four). The charges arose from an undercover sting operation carried out by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, involving a confidential informant who brought up the possibility of robbing a fictitious drug “stash house.” The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, an entrapment argument, and challenges to sentencing enhancements.
