Lee County, Florida Cocaine Dealer gets More than 10 Years in Prison

December 19, 2007 -- TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that a Lee County woman pled guilty to trafficking cocaine and was sentenced to just over 124 months in prison. Donna Sierra Williams was prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office of Statewide Prosecution for trafficking more than $20,000 of cocaine in Lee County.

Authorities with the Combined Law Enforcement Against Narcotics (CLEAN) Task Force conducted an undercover narcotics operation in February 2006. Using a confidential source, they set up four controlled buys with Williams, purchasing more than 16 ounces of cocaine. Immediately following the last cocaine buy in April 2006, the task force served a search warrant on Williams’s Bonita Springs residence and seven additional ounces of cocaine were seized by narcotics agents. The value of all the cocaine purchased or seized from Williams was approximately $20,000. Williams was arrested by authorities with the task force.
