The jury found REDDICK guilty of two counts of possession with intent to distribute and distribution of 28 grams or more of cocaine base (“crack”), one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin, one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine base, and one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.  The jury found REDDICK not guilty of one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

A sentencing date is not scheduled.
