(Fargo, ND) -- Two Detroit men are facing sentencing after being found guilty of involvement in a drug trafficking organization that targeted three North Dakota reservations.
Baquan Sledge and Darius Sledge are known by various aliases and were both convicted on continuing criminal enterprise, several counts of drug possession and distribution, and maintaining a drug-involved premises.
