DALLAS — A veteran Dallas County sheriff’s deputy has agreed to plead guilty for his role in a cocaine-trafficking conspiracy, federal prosecutors said Friday.

Standric Choice, 36, is expected to formally enter his plea next week to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, possession of a firearm during a drug-trafficking crime and possession with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

A criminal complaint accuses Choice and two co-defendants of conspiring to steal cocaine from a dealer. Choice planned to seize the cocaine by faking the arrest of an informant, the complaint said.

Choice and co-defendants Terry Kemone Anderson, 29, and Charlie Lee Hill, 31, were arrested in January after the scheme failed.
