Richard Wershe Jr. Biography
Richard Wershe Jr. is one of the most popular and richest Drug Trafficker who was born on July 18, 1969 in Michigan, United States.
Wershe and his lower middle-class family lived in a neighborhood on the east side of Detroit about seven miles from downtown. They lived there during a period in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Detroit and many other major American cities were gaining widespread reputations for crime and violence, largely due to an influx of cocaine and the emergence of the crack cocaine epidemic. Wershe’s father was also an FBI informant and first reported to the police and the federal agency alongside him before going solo.
In 1987 Wershe was arrested for possessing cocaine in excess of eight kilograms (17.6 pounds). He was sentenced to life in prison in Michigan under the state’s 650-Lifer Law, a drug statute that penalized those found in possession of more than 650 grams (22.92 oz) of cocaine or heroin with life imprisonment without parole. Wershe earned parole in 2017 after nearly 30 years in prison. He was released from the Oaks Correction Facility in Michigan in April 2017 and turned over to U.S. Marshals.
