United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced the return of an indictment charging Jackie Jamal Hines, 46, of Melbourne, with possession with the intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine. If convicted, Hines faces a minimum mandatory penalty of 10 years, up to life, in federal prison.

The indictment also notifies Hines that the United States intends to forfeit any assets that are alleged to be traceable to the proceeds of the offense.

An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
