A federal grand jury in Boston indicted Luis Torres for his alleged role in a cocaine distribution conspiracy on Thursday.
From Worcester, Torres was indicted on one count of conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute over five kilograms of cocaine and one count of use of a communication facility to facilitate a drug felony, according to United States Attorney Rachael Rollins’ office.

The timeline of events associated with Torres’ alleged connection to the conspiracy was around June. By June 21, he was arrested, charged and has remained in custody since.
Being charged with conspiring to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine holds a minimum sentence of 10 years to life in prison, Rollins’ office said in a statement. This includes at least five years of supervised release and a fine of up to $10 million.
Rollins’ office said he was previously convicted of drug trafficking and served over a year in state prison before his June 21 arrest.
Torres will appear in court at a later, unspecified date.
