James E. Revell III, an admitted cocaine dealer who lost several vehicles, a boat, cash and other items to the state in one of the city's largest asset seizures, received nine years in prison Monday on multiple cocaine-distribution and firearm charges.
Circuit Court Judge Bruce Kushner also ordered Revell, 36, to pay $2,000 in fines when he's released, plus $450 in restitution for cocaine purchases made by a police informant. The judge suspended 39 years of Revell's prison term.
Revell pleaded guilty to the charges in August. On Monday he told the judge "I hated the life I was in," and tried to cooperate with police by giving them about 100 of his customers' names. A police detective testified that the names, often nicknames, didn't help investigators much.

House & Cars
Out of the 6 vehicles taken only 1 was purchased with illegal money. Two didnt even belong to him. 1 was left to him by his deceased father. The others were purchased with inheritance money. He has a house which his fiance' lives at. It too was purchased with inheritance money. He didnt snitch because he wasn't as big as he was made out to be so there was no information to give & also because thats the same way he got put into jail.
Where is the house
He didn't have a house?
Are you kidding? It's
Are you kidding? It's misleading. I remember when the story was first published about his "fleet" of old cars. They were all junk.
He didn't own a house
He didn't own a house probably because such a cash transaction would be noticed especially if he hasn't filed taxes for years prior. It's hard to finance a house when you do not have a legal income and he was probably too stupid to set up a legitimate organization for his dealing where his profits are laundered into legitimate income.
