ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Frank Lucas, the former Har- lem drug kingpin whose life and lore inspired the 2007 movie a has died, a a i said Fri- day. a who was 88, died Thursday in New Jersey, nephew Aldwan Lassiter said. Lucas had been in de- clining health, according to his former lawyer.
Raised in North Caro- lina, Lucas climbed the ranks of crime in Harlem in the 1960s and becoming a major drug dealer known for sup- plying huge amounts of particularly potent her- oin. He said it netted him millions, and authorities seized over $500,000 in cash when they raided his house in Teaneck, New Jersey, in 1975. He was convicted and sentenced to decades in prison, but he turned informant and was released after about five years. Lucas was quickly arrested again for drug dealing, on a much smaller scale. He served seven more years, getting out again in 1991.
story became the basis for the Ridley Scott-directed ican starring Denzel Washington as Lucas and Russell Crowe as Richard Rob- erts, a composite of vari- ous detectives and pros- ecutors. The real-life Roberts is a former prosecutor who helped convict Lucas but later became his lawyer and friend, even godfather to son. Lucas was a fixture on the film set, giving Washington advice on such details as how he carried his gun. The movie got awards buzz but also brought scrutiny of claims in legend, particu- larly a portrayal of him smuggling drugs in U.S. caskets during the Vietnam War.
