An Aurora man is going to jail after a bogus drug deal that involved broccoli in place of marijuana led to a shooting at a local mall.
A jury found Sababu Colbert-Evans, 26, guilty of attempted first degree murder in May. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison on Friday, according to the Arapahoe County district attorney’s office, Fox31 reported.
Tercell Davis, who goes by the street name 22 Jump Street, sold $10,000 worth of marijuana on March 16 last year, but gave the buyers a bag of broccoli instead. The buyers drove off before realizing they had been duped.
The same buyers then contacted Davis under a different name to set up another deal, hoping to get back either their money, or the drugs they paid for. Colbert-Evans and Davis prepared more broccoli and met with the buyers at 7:30 p.m. at a local food court.
