A federal grand jury has handed down an indictment charging a man with selling crack cocaine in Central Virginia.
Frank Donnell Baldwin, 35, entered innocent pleas to three charges Tuesday in Charlottesville federal court — being involved in a conspiracy to distribute or possess with the intent to distribute 50 or more grams of crack cocaine and two counts of distributing 5 or more grams of crack cocaine.
According to the indictment, Baldwin and a yet-to-be-named co-defendant sold crack during the summer and fall of 2005. Brian McGinn, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said the U.S. Department of Justice doesn’t release information on why charges are prosecuted at a certain time.
Baldwin currently is serving a prison sentence until May in the Coffeewood Correctional Center. He was convicted of a cocaine distribution charge in 2006 in Albemarle County, according to court records.
