Sixty-Six-Year-Old Man Sentenced for Drug Gun Ring | Liverpool News

A 66-year-old veteran, Richard Streets, got caught with a loaded Glock and cocaine hidden in his oven after being pressured by drug dealers who threatened his family—he’d borrowed money due to delayed benefits and was forced into holding onto the drugs and weapon. The court heard the cocaine was prepped for sale and the gun was modified, with prosecutors calling him a safe house for organized crime. Though his lawyer portrayed him as a victim cornered by violence and his family praised his military service, the judge stressed that enabling crime—even under duress—is serious. Streets admitted guilt, showed remorse, and was sentenced to six and a half years for harboring lethal weapons and drugs for criminal enterprises.
