New Bedford Man Sentenced for Cocaine Trafficking
FALL RIVER (WBSM) — A New Bedford man with a lengthy record of drug dealing has been sentenced to serve five to six years in state prison on his latest drug trafficking charges.
According to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, Demingo Browning, 49, pleaded guilty recently in Fall River Superior Court to an indictment charging him with trafficking in excess of 36 grams of cocaine.
The D.A.’s Office said that on November 9, 2021, New Bedford Police executed a search warrant at Browning’s apartment at 98 Liberty Street and located a large bag of cocaine weighing 110 grams on Browning’s couch.
Police also found digital scales, cut-corner baggies and packaging materials.
According to New Bedford Police at the time, Browning had a previous conviction for trafficking a Class B drug in 2017.
“The defendant is a repeat drug dealer who continues to traffic narcotics. He needs to be kept off the street to protect the public,” District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III said.
