Three members of an armed drug trafficking organization were sentenced to federal prison for distributing large quantities of drugs in Macon, according to a May 8 announcement from the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia. The sentences are part of Operation Mobile Order, a coordinated investigation led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
Operation Mobile Order targeted a violent drug trafficking group operating in Macon neighborhoods. U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes said, “Operation Mobile Order demonstrates that law enforcement will identify, dismantle and hold accountable criminal organizations threatening our communities. The members of this armed drug trafficking organization have been brought to justice for their crimes, ensuring they are held responsible for the harm they caused in our community.”
Robert Gibbs, Supervisory Senior Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta’s Macon office, said, “Operation Mobile Order dismantled a violent drug trafficking organization that treated a Macon neighborhood like a retail storefront for cocaine, backed by an arsenal of firearms. This investigation shows the FBI’s commitment to targeting criminal networks that fuel addiction, violence and fear in our communities. We will continue to work should-to-shoulder with our partners to make Central Georgia a safer place to live.”
Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said, “Operation Mobile Order represents the best in local and federal law enforcement partnerships. Together, FBI agents and Bibb County Sheriff’s Office investigators worked tirelessly to bring this cadre of criminals to justice. Our community is much better off with these peddlers of poison off our streets.”
The defendants sentenced on May 19 include Roosevelt Cole (170 months), Marvin Huff (125 months), and Trayvon Simmons (70 months), all from Macon; each will also serve four years supervised release after pleading guilty earlier this year.
Other defendants previously sentenced include Antonyo Daniels (250 months) from Warner Robins; Devonta Jackson (155 months), Laderion Jacobs (100 months), Ladarrious King (70 months), all from Macon; and Leroy Mintz (132 months) from Macon—all facing similar charges related to conspiracy or distribution offenses.
Several individuals pleaded guilty but await sentencing: Eddie Reese faces up to 40 years imprisonment plus fines; Alton Oliver could face life imprisonment on two counts including firearm possession during drug trafficking; Roddreckious Williams faces up to 20 years per count related to cocaine distribution.
According to court documents presented before U.S. District Judge Marc Treadwell—who presides over these cases—the FBI ran nine controlled purchases as part of its investigation between 2022 and 2023 and intercepted communications about kilogram-level transactions sourced from Atlanta suppliers.
Authorities seized cocaine, $93,247 cash and 26 firearms—including one machine gun—during eleven search warrants executed across multiple cities on Nov. 20 last year.
The U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia advances community wellness by promoting cooperation with law enforcement agencies across central Georgia communities such as Macon through efforts like Operation Take Back America—a nationwide initiative focused on combating cartels and transnational crime according to the official website.
