The alleged head of a drug trafficking operation in Fort Worth is facing federal charges, along with his associate.
The Justice Department says Leeroy Marquee Jones, 32, a.k.a. "Alladin," led an operation that dealt fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, meth and marijuana in Fort Worth's Stop Six neighborhood.
Last week, federal agents searched three stash houses that Jones allegedly ran and seized 500 grams of suspected fentanyl, 400 grams of suspected meth, 16 firearms and a large amount of cash.
Jones and his associate, Christopher Antwuan George, 21, are each charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances.
"Seeking justice and a safe community is a team effort," said Eduardo A. Chávez, DEA Fort Worth Special Agent in Charge. "Through our partnership with the Hood County Sheriff's Office and the Fort Worth Police Department, guns and drugs, including thousands of potential deadly doses of fentanyl, are off our streets."
Jones and George each face ten years to life in prison if convicted.
"Violent criminal drug networks poisoning our neighborhoods will be held accountable," Chávez said. "You cannot hide."
