ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A Detroit gang leader accused of ordering the killings of two rivals has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on drug charges. Milton Jones is a co-founder of the gang Young Boys Inc. The 53-year-old pleaded guilty two years ago to drug charges and agreed to aid prosecutors in exchange for their dropping murder charges. Defense lawyer Richard Sindel says he's disappointed the judge didn't hand down a shorter sentence Monday because of Jones' age and his rehabilitation efforts. Jones was among 14 people indicted in 2001 on charges of selling heroin, cocaine and marijuana during the 1990s. Authorities say the gang robbed, kidnapped and murdered rival traffickers.
