A law enforcement task force, including Prince William police, has indicted 14 people in a cocaine conspiracy case.
Following a year long investigation, the task force was able to make the indictments in federal court for the 14 individuals – several of whom are from Prince William County.
Included in the indictment was 26-year old Dale City man Roberto Esparza Suarez, 41-year old Triangle man Juan Delao, 24-year old Dale City woman Lisette Cordova and 34-year old Woodbridge man Jose Hernandez Lopez, according to a U.S. Justice Department release.
According to a release, the individuals are being indicted for their involvement in a criminal enterprise that was importing large quantities of cocaine from Mexico into the United States, before being distributed in the Washington D.C. area.
A U.S. Justice Department release stated that officers involved in the task force’s investigation found firearms, distribution amounts of cocaine and more than $45,000.
There were also several individuals from the area that pled guilty as co-conspirators, including 35-year old Dumfries man Jose Sanchez, 27-year old Woodbridge man Guillermo Castellon, 27-year old Manassas man Oscar Marroquin and 24-year old Manassas man Sifredo Barrientos, according to a release.
A release stated that many of the individuals indicted could face a minimum penalty of ten years to a maximum penalty of life in prison, if they are convicted.

As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
