ODESSA -- Ten Odessa residents will be spending several years in prison after pleading guilty for selling cocaine.

    Those involved include Ruben Rodriguez, Aureliano Aranda, Priscilla Rodriguez, Rene Vazquez, Santiago Martinez, Raul Hernandez, Sylvia Escovedo, Jorge Valenzuela, Sonia Rocha and Christopher Anaya. All ten pleaded guilty to charges of cocaine distribution in federal court last Friday.

    The F.B.I. started investigating the ring in November 2009. The suspects eventually sold cocaine to undercover agents.

    All but three of the suspects face at least 5 to 40 years behind bars. Priscilla Rodriguez, Martinez and Rocha face 10 years to life in prison.

    No sentencing date has been set.
