Description
Vaughn Ricco Wattree pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B)(ii), and 846, and one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B)(ii). After trial, he was convicted of the remaining count of carrying a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(i). The district court imposed concurrent 60-month sentences for the drug counts and a consecutive 60-month sentence for the firearm conviction. Wattree appeals, requesting a new trial due to improper venue. The government cross-appeals, challenging a three-level acceptance-of-responsibility reduction in the sentence.
