a) On April 25, 1980, a Drug Enforcement Administration (”DEA”) confidential informant (”CI”) told DEA Special Agent Seary that Claimant Glenn (as well as members of the Maddox drug organization) sold large quantities of heroin from the Maddox Cafe. b) On January 14, 1983, a second DEA CI drove to the Stop Six property with a DEA agent. While the agent remained in the car, the CI entered the restaurant and purchased cocaine and heroin from an individual who told the CI that the heroin Claimant Glenn had brought to the Stop Six property for sale was of good quality. c) On January 20, 1983, the same CI drove to the Stop Six property with a DEA agent where the CI was observed by the DEA agent to enter the restaurant and talk with Claimant Glenn and then walk out of view. The CI then returned to the car with heroin and cocaine that he said he had purchased from an individual at the direction of Glenn after giving Glenn the money. d) On August 29, 1983, a third DEA CI told two DEA agents that Butch’s night club, which is part of the Stop Six property, was owned and operated by Glenn and was known as a hang out for heroin dealers. Various CIs have referred to Claimant Glenn as ”Butch.” e) On October 25, 1983, a fourth CI was driven to the Stop Six property by a DEA agent and a DEA Task Force officer, where the CI purchased heroin and cocaine from an individual under the direction of Claimant Glenn. f) On September 24, 1986, a Fort Worth Police Department officer, acting on information that heroin and cocaine were being sold at the Stop Six property, went there and the bartender asked her what she wanted. The officer replied, ”1/2 gram of cocaine.” The bartender then directed her to the bathroom where two other individuals sold her the cocaine. The Fort Worth Police Department Laboratory determined that the substance purchased was cocaine. g) On September 25, 1986, the same Fort Worth officer went back to the Stop Six property and purchased another half gram of cocaine. h) On April 21, 1987, a member of the Maddox drug organization told a DEA agent that Claimant Glenn ran the Stop Six Center and was one of Billy Ray Maddox’s main lieutenants. i) On May 5, 1987, an individual who was assaulted in the Stop Six parking lot, told police that she was assaulted by a Stop Six employee who spent much of his time near his pickup truck on the parking lot selling heroin and cocaine. j) On November 4, 1987, an individual told a DEA agent that Billy Ray Maddox distributed heroin and cocaine through the restaurant on the Stop Six property. This same individual said that he had purchased heroin from Claimant Glenn on two occasions. He would go to the club on the Stop Six property, make a deal for heroin with Glenn, and Glenn would obtain the heroin from somewhere in the kitchen. k) On November 6, 1987, Fort Worth officers, acting on complaints of narcotics trafficking, went to the restaurant on the Stop Six property. While inside the restaurant, the officers observed three individuals sitting at different tables without food as if they were lookouts. One of these individuals was in possession of a loaded pistol. While on the property officers observed an exchange, arrested the suspect and recovered a  clear plastic bag that contained cocaine base. l) On March 18, 1988, another Fort Worth officer purchased cocaine in the hallway where the bathrooms were located.

The officers arrested the individual and recovered one large plastic bag containing sixteen smaller bags of cocaine base. p) On July 26, 1988, Fort Worth police officers executed a search warrant at the Stop Six property and arrested several suspects in the parking lot. They recovered a total of sixty dosage units of cocaine base. q) On November 4, 1988, a DEA agent interviewed a member of the Maddox drug organization.

He further advised that Butch operated the club and supervised the narcotics sales. r) Between August 1987 and July 1988, surveillance established Billy Ray Maddox’s presence at the restaurant on the Stop Six property on numerous occasions.

Warlick soon was part of a 200-member supergang formed out of three Brooklyn crews — Young and Wild and Hustling, Pistol Packin’ Pitkin and Fort Greene N---as Only, which was based on Warlick’s home turf. The supergang joined forces to dominate East New York, Brownsville and Fort Greene. They called themselves YPF, and hoped by working together they’d control more turf and have greater access to weapons, said Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez.

“At a time when this city needs a response to the existential threat of violence, Richard Grundy, public enemy No. 1, was sentenced to life in federal prison,” Minkler said. Grundy, who has been implicated in at least ten violent deaths, never went to trial. He was arrested seven times on serious gun and drug charges but was convicted only of five misdemeanors and one low-level felony. Minkler celebrated the life sentence, but admitted that justice didn’t happen overnight. “This is as big a win as our criminal justice system has had in this city in the last 25 years,” said Minkler. Following a series of killings in 2014, Grundy and others were charged with murder in Marion County, but the case fell apart. That allowed Grundy to plead guilty to minor drug charges and declare his innocence in 2017. “They was trying to make something fit that wasn’t there,” said Grundy in 2017.

On March 2, 2015, Thomas and five accomplices came from Detroit to Indianapolis and kidnapped two children. The children were the younger siblings of Whitney Blackwell, Thomas’s ex-girlfriend. Investigators said Blackwell had stolen drugs and drugs money from Thomas on Feb. 28. Testimony in court indicated that Thomas was a Detroit-based drug dealer.

Testimony at the sentencing hearings established that DAVIS was the head of the “Sin City Mafia,” a major criminal enterprise with headquarters in Columbus, GA; Atlanta, GA; and Los Angeles, CA. DAVIS obtained cocaine from California suppliers connected to major Mexican cartels and transported that cocaine to Atlanta by way of tractor trailers, private jets and through parcel post. Once the cocaine arrived in Atlanta, it was packaged for shipment various locales along the East Coast. DAVIS’ organization had ties to the Black Mafia Family (BMF), a criminal enterprise operating in Detroit, Atlanta, Orlando, Saint Louis and elsewhere.

Walker allegedly operated a warehouse in the Atlanta area where he received shipments of cocaine hidden in tractor-trailers. The shipments were sent by a co-conspirator in Colorado. Walker allegedly would then distribute the drugs to individuals from South Georgia and South Carolina. Garcia-Martinez is an alleged co-conspirator who facilitated some of Walker’s drug transactions. Law enforcement officers seized more than 135 kilograms of cocaine from the organization, a quantity worth more than $4 million at current wholesale prices in Atlanta. Law enforcement also seized more than $220,000 in drug proceeds.

Darryl Reed, once called the “crack king” of Oakland, will be released from prison this year after President Obama this week granted him and 110 others clemency. The former drug kingpin known on the streets as “Lil D” will be released from a federal prison in Oregon on Dec. 28, 26 years into a 35-year prison sentence for manufacturing and possessing crack and cocaine to sell. “I said, Woohoo! Like that,” his mother, Delores Stephens, told KGO-TV. “I told myself too, I believe the Lord sent him there for a reason.” At age 20, Reed was at the top of Oakland’s narcotics trade in the late 1980s, transporting drugs through his connections in Los Angeles to street dealers throughout Oakland, retired narcotics Officer Ken Scott said.

In November 2017, an indictment was returned alleging that Smokecamp members were known to engage in robberies and extortion and that the gang made its money predominantly through the sale of narcotics, including cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, marijuana, ecstacy and prescription pills. The gang regularly sold these controlled substances on the “ABlock,” outside of vacant houses, known as “trap houses,” and businesses, the indictment said. Additionally, from 2014-2015, Smokecamp members regularly sold controlled substances from an apartment complex on East Seven Mile, which they branded the “Plaga,” sharing workers and firearms to distribute and protect their narcotics. However, this activity was not confined to Detroit with some of their members traveling to Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio to sell narcotics. The gang also regularly engaged in acts of violence, including shootings and murder to intimidate rivals and maintain control of their territory, according to the indictment.
