Philly man gets 10 years in prison for cocaine

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - April 8, 2009 He is 56-year-old Ricardo McKendrick Sr., who entered the plea Dec. 8 and was sentenced Wednesday.

McKendrick was also ordered to forfeit the home used to store the cocaine, pay a $20,000 fine and complete five years of supervised release.

McKendrick's son, convicted drug kingpin Ricardo McKendrick Jr., made news recently when he testified against a former Philadelphia police officer. A jury deadlocked on whether Malik Snell robbed the younger McKendrick of $40,000 and on charges from an unrelated home invasion. Snell was acquitted of a weapons charge.
