PHILADELPHIA - June 18, 2009 - Federal officials say Rickie Durham warned his childhood friend
in August 2005 that police would soon raid the home of a suspected
drug kingpin. Richardson's half-sister lived with the suspect.
Authorities say Richardson quickly placed a call to his
half-sister Asya and also spoke with her boyfriend,
Alton "Ace Capone" Coles.
Hours later, more than 200 officers fanned out to arrest the
couple and others linked to Coles. He is now serving a life term.
The 43-year-old Durham was charged with obstruction this week
and put on electronic monitoring Thursday.
Richardson has not been charged.
