Federal prosecutors have charged a 40-year-old Lawrence man with multiple drug counts.

Willie West is charged with three counts of distributing crack cocaine and one count each of distributing crack cocaine within 1,000 feet of Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Road; distributing crack cocaine and distributing marijuana, both within 1,000 feet of Holcom Park, 2601 W. 25th St.; possession with intent to distribute marijuana within 1,000 feet of Holcom Park; and maintaining a residence in the 2300 block of West 26th Street, for the purpose of distributing marijuana, U.S. Attorney spokesman Jim Cross said Thursday.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Drug Enforcement Unit investigated the crimes, which are alleged to have occurred in 2007 and 2008 in Douglas County, Cross said.
