A drug queenpin who ran a massive coke operation out of Inwood’s Dyckman Houses was sent sobbing to prison yesterday by an angry judge who told her, “You’re never going to be the boss again.”
Lillian Rivera, 21 — known as “Ills” on the street — was sentenced to 25 years in prison. She’d been convicted of conspiracy and drug possession and sale in May.
“The problem with you is that you’re used to being the boss,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro told Rivera when she kept interrupting to proclaim her innocence.
“She’s been a reign of terror in the community for 10 years,” said prosecutor Vera Varshavsky.
Rivera’s co-defendant — her driver, Benny Garay, 50, of The Bronx — was set free after being sentenced to two years he’d already served.
