11 Arrested In Half Million Dollar Cocaine Case

March 23, 2010

A federal criminal complaint has been filed charging 11 individuals with conspiring to distribute large amounts of cocaine.

The criminal complaint alleges that between January 2008 and the present Tracy Hull, 38, Karriem Jones, 37, Douglas Jones, 41, Donnelle Gulley, 29, Justin Odom, 19, of the Pensacola area; Jason Green, 23, and Perry Jennings, 25, of the Houston, Texas area; and Ernest Mallety, 59, Kevin Mallety, 28, Johnnie Mallety, Jr, 29, and Terry Dunning, 29, of the Moss Point, Mississippi area, were involved in a conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine.

The charges stem from a long-term investigation involving law enforcement seizures of more than half a million dollars in cocaine and United States currency. The complaint details numerous trips by the defendants between Florida, Mississippi and Texas to transport cash in return for cocaine.

The defendants began to make their initial appearances Monday in federal courts in Pensacola, Houston, Texas and Gulfport, Mississippi. Detention hearings in Pensacola, to determine the pre-trial status of the defendants, have been set for March 25, 2010 before United States Magistrate Judge Miles Davis.

This case was investigated by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the Pensacola Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations Division, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine, and the United States Marshals Service. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg.

    Susan Beene talk about judging,sounds to me you are the one judging the ones who work and pay for their insurance, instead of waiting on another handout from the gov’t. Yes we have and we always will support the one’s standing with their hands out wanting more. Get a job if you are able to work and buy your insurance,and by the way it’s disgust. “YES YOU ALL DID,BUT YOU WON’T AGAIN”

    Who are you to judge anyone?
    Bigger thieves in Washington, DC? Apparently you have health insurance. What if you didnt? Wouldnt you want some type of coverage? How dare you judge others and object to fellow americans not being insured! You people discuss me!
    YES WE CAN!! YES WE DID!!! Obama-Biden!!!!
