Andre Anthony Lewis alleged Union Street BGDs member sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for possession of cocaine


13:41 |

Andre Anthony Lewis, 35, was sentenced in U.S. District Court to more than 12 years in prison for possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. He earlier entered a guilty plea to the charge in January 2007.Seattle police were called to the intersection of East Union Street and 23rd Avenue on the afternoon of May 12, 2006. When they arrived, they found Lewis' black Mercedes-Benz riddled with gunfire, its windows shattered. Shell casings littered the ground around the car.
Lewis, bleeding from what he said were glass cuts, was rummaging in the trunk. When asked to describe who shot his car, Lewis reportedly answered, "a 7-foot white guy." He proved no more cooperative during the ensuing investigation into the shooting.
Police impounded the car and Seattle gang detectives conducted a search, discovering 220.5 grams of cocaine they described as 80 percent pure.
Federal officials decided to prosecute the case because of Lewis' long criminal history, which includes a 1992 conviction for manslaughter and later convictions for drug possession and unlawful possession of a firearm. Lewis also allegedly is a member of a Central District gang, the Union Street BGDs. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Lewis faced up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine, but in January 2007 he agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence.
