In count one of the indictment that charges the 15 defendants with Violation of the RICO Act, grand jurors contend that the defendants acting together, as well as parties to the crime, on and between April 6, 2024 and Nov. 26, 2024, in Baldwin County did unlawfully acquire, directly and indirectly control of property through a pattern of racketeering in particularly U.S. currency, marijuana and other controlled substances.

Count two of the indictment against the 15 defendants, meanwhile, accuses each of them of being associated with a criminal enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity.

The other two counts of the RICO Act accuse the group of similar criminal activity.

The grand jury broke down the alleged RICO Act violations into separate parts. They included: The conspiracy; the enterprise; the scheme; the pattern of racketeering activity; and the predicate acts, according to the indictment.

Each of the defendants “performed or caused to be performed at least one overt act to effect the object of the conspiracy,” the indictment contends.

Part II of the indictment, which refers to the criminal enterprise, contends that it consisted of a group of individuals associated in fact, although not a legal entity who acquired and maintained an interest in and control of an enterprise.

Grand jurors contend the said enterprise “engaged in possession, distribution and sale of cocaine, fentanyl, controlled substances and marijuana with the common goal of said enterprise being pecuniary gain and possession of said controlled substances.”

Part III of the indictment refers to the scheme.

“The accused engaged in a scheme through a pattern of racketeering activity to obtain and transport fentanyl, a Scheduled II drug, cocaine, a Scheduled II drug, marijuana and Hydrocodone, a Scheduled II drug from various areas in Baldwin County and the middle Georgia area for the purpose of selling, marketing, purchasing and otherwise distributing fentanyl, cocaine, marijuana, Hydrocodone and other controlled substances in violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act,” according to the indictment.

The indictment also broke down various acts that each of the defendants are specifically accused of having committed.
