A 59-year-old Orange man has been indicted on federal drug trafficking charges in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales in a press release after a raid at his home at 1412 Hart Street. Grover Lee Roberts was indicted on Oct. 7, 2015 and charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine. Roberts was arrested in Orange Friday on those charges. According to the indictment, since 2008, Roberts conspired with others to distribute more than 28 grams of crack cocaine from his residence on South Hart Avenue in Orange. If convicted, Roberts faces up to 40 years in federal prison. This case is being investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Orange Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Craft. A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. During the execution of the warrants, JERRY WILLIAMS, 54, was found at 1412 S. Hart and he was in possession of crack cocaine. He was arrested for the state charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance (felony 3).
