TUCSON, Ariz. — A former Army recruiter was sentenced Monday to more than three years in prison in a cocaine smuggling case.

The Arizona Daily Star reported on its Web site that 37-year-old Ronricco Allen also was ordered to pay $17,000 in fines and serve three years of probation.

Allen was sentenced for his role in Operation Lively Green, a federal corruption investigation that ensnared dozens of military personnel and other federal and state officials.

Authorities say Allen, who worked out of a midtown Tucson Army recruiting station, participated in three drug runs in fall 2002, running a total of 265 pounds of cocaine.

They say Allen and 10 other defendants ran cocaine from Tucson to Las Vegas on one occasion.

1. 265 pounds of coke= 3 years...while some folks are doing LIFE for dealing a few baggies of weed.

The real reason the statue of "Justice" wears that blindfold
is to conceal the fact that she's WEEPING UNCONTROLLABLY.
