GANG MEMBER SENTENCED FOR DRUGS
A Chelsea man identified as a member of the Heath Street Gang was sentenced Jan. 31 in federal court in Boston for drug trafficking and illegal possession of a firearm.
Kendrick Tate, a/k/a “K-Roc,” 26, of Chelsea, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani to 159 months in prison and three years of supervised release. In August 2018, Tate pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of cocaine base and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Tate has been serving a state sentence for unrelated drug and gun convictions.
On subsequent days in April 2017, Tate sold a cooperating witness crack cocaine and a firearm with a partially obliterated serial number. Although Tate has been identified by law enforcement as a member of the Heath Street Gang, he was living in Chelsea at the time of these sales.
According to court documents, Tate was convicted in state court in November 2017 of unrelated drug and firearm charges and is presently serving a 3 ½ – 4-year sentence. Tate was also previously convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon on two occasions, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, resisting arrest, assault and battery on a police officer, and possession to distribute a Class B substance on two occasions.
Following a two-year investigation, Tate and eight co-defendants were charged in January 2018 in connection with illegal drug distribution and firearm possession within and near the Mildred C. Hailey Apartments, formerly known as the Bromley Heath Housing Development. OUI AND ACCIDENT
