Justice Department exhibits depict members of a Florida-based armed robbery conspiracy where Darius Hudson and others would pose as police officers to gain illegal entry.

For months, a group of armed men in Florida posed as police officers, donning official-looking garb while covering their faces as they invaded homes, brandished guns, and occasionally fired them at their terrified victims, and this week, a federal jury has convicted one of the conspirators: Darius “Toot” Hudson.

Hudson, 44, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit no less than three robberies and discharging a gun during a violent crime. He was also convicted of Hobbs Act Robbery, and now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 27 years and could receive up to life in prison. An order from a federal judge reviewed by Law&Crime on Wednesday indicates the Acadia resident will be sentenced on April 24.
