Kansas City, Kan. (WIBW) - A man who authorities say had crack cocaine and marijuana in his home will spend 14 years behind bars for drug trafficking.

34-year old Victor Lavone Lewis of Coffeyville was sentenced to 168 months in federal prison. Lewis pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine and three counts of distributing crack cocaine.

According to court records, Lewis was arrested Sept. 17, 2003, when the Coffeyville Police Department, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Labette County Sheriff’s Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol served a search warrant at a house in Coffeyville that Lewis shared with co-defendant Syeta Holt. Investigators seized crack cocaine, marijuana, a 9 mm handgun, police scanners and cash.

Lewis was one of the targets of Operation Little Big Man, an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force project that yielded dozens of federal indictments for drug trafficking, armed robberies, shootings, abductions and money laundering in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.

Charged along with Lewis were Syeta Holt, 36, Coffeyville, Kan., who was sentenced to 36 months, and Anthony O’Neil Bass, 27, Coffeyville, Kan., who was sentenced to 92 months.

Agencies that worked on Operation Little Big Man included the Coffeyville Police Department, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Labette County Sheriff’s Office, the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Internal Revenue Service, the Parsons Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Rask, who prosecuted the case.
