ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - Law enforcement officials say an upstate New York man who ran a cross-country cocaine ring with his brother will serve more than 20 years in prison.

Federal prosecutors in Rochester say Friday that Kenya Brown was sentenced to 248 months following his conviction on armed drug conspiracy and distribution charges.

His brother, Shawnta Brown, is already serving a 152-month prison term.

The Browns were arrested in March 2012 after authorities raided several locations in Rochester and Cayuga County they say the duo used as part of their drug trafficking operation.

Prosecutors charge the Bronws conspired to traffic cocaine from California into western New York.
