BREAKING News Out Of Washington D.C.- THEY
INDICTED ALL 27 OF THEM!!!! HELL YEAH! WASHINGTON  Eighteen people have been arrested
following their indictments on federal charges in connection with an ongoing investigation
into drug trafficking networks that distributed heroin, crack cocaine, and cocaine in the
Washington, D.C. Area. To date, more than 2,000 grams of cocaine
and more than 200 grams of heroin have been seized as a result of the investigation, along
with 16 firearms, six vehicles, body armor, and more than $40,000 in cash. The charges are contained in two indictments
unsealed on April 12, 2018, in the U.S.

District Court for the District of Columbia. The charges were announced today by U.S. Attorney
Jessie K. Liu, Nancy McNamara, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBIs Washington Field
Office, and Peter Newsham, Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

The indictments charge a total of 27 people
with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, crack cocaine,
and cocaine. Two of the arrested defendants Terrance
Antonio Thomas, 46, of Temple Hills, Md., And Darius Wilson, 40, of Waldorf, Md.  Are
charged in both indictments. Eleven others are charged in one of the cases,
and 14 others are charged in the other case.

The indictments include a forfeiture count
against all of those now charged in the investigation, which seeks all proceeds from the crimes. One defendant  Zenja Truitt, 47, of Upper
Marlboro, Md.  Is a teacher in Prince Georges County, Md., And was among those arrested. The prosecution grew out of the efforts of
the FBI/MPD Safe Streets Task Force, a multi-agency team that conducts comprehensive, multi-level
attacks on major drug trafficking and money laundering organizations.

Numerous law enforcement agencies assisted
the FBI and MPD in the arrests and searches, including the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA), U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Prince Georges County,
Md. Police, Montgomery County, Md.

Police, Anne Arundel County, Md., Police,
Charles County, Md., Police, and Calvert County, Md. Police Departments,. The number of arrests represents one of the
largest enforcement efforts aimed at Washington, D.C. Drug trafficking organizations in recent
years.

Seventeen people were arrested on April 12,
2018, and one turned himself in today. Another was already in custody and eight remain
at large. The defendants began making court appearances
on April 12, 2018, with further proceedings scheduled for today. A total of 21 locations were searched during
the law enforcement actions on April 12, including four in the District of Columbia, 11 in Prince
Georges County, two in Calvert County, Md., One in Charles County, Md., Two in Anne
Arundel County, Md., And one in Montgomery County, Md.

If convicted of the charges, 10 defendants
face prison sentences of 10 years to life, six face sentences of five to 40 years, and
11 face sentences of up to 20 years. In August 2016, the Safe Streets Task Force
began a long-term investigation into drug trafficking in the Washington, D.C. And Prince
Georges County, Md., Border region. The indictments allege that various defendants
conspired to carry out various facets of the drug operation from at least June 2016 until
October 2017.

These arrests and indictments are part
of our continuing commitment to protecting the citizens of the District of Columbia from
organizations bringing dangerous drugs into our community, said U.S. Attorney Liu. By breaking up these trafficking networks,
we hope to cut off supply of heroin, cocaine and other drugs, and make our neighborhoods
safer. This case represents the epitome of law
enforcement agencies working together to target and dismantle drug organizations that threaten
the safety and stability of our neighborhoods, said Assistant Director in Charge McNamara.

These arrests should send a strong message
that the FBI, along with our partners on the Safe Streets Task Force, will continue to
pursue those who wreak havoc on our communities through the sale of illegal drugs. An indictment is merely a formal charge that
a defendant has committed a violation of criminal law and is not evidence of guilt. Every defendant is presumed innocent until,
and unless, proven guilty. In announcing the charges, U.S.

Attorney Liu,
Assistant Director in Charge McNamara, and Chief Newsham commended the work of those
who investigated the case from the Safe Streets Task Force, including the FBIs Washington
Field Office and MPD. They acknowledged the sponsorship and support
of the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). Additionally, they expressed appreciation
for the assistance provided by the Washington D.C./Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking
Area (HIDTA); the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations (IRS-CI) Washington, D.C. Field Office; U.S.

Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA), U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Prince Georges County,
Md. Police, Montgomery County, Md. Police, Anne Arundel County, Md., Police,
Charles County, Md., Police, and Calvert County, Md.

Police Departments, and the U.S. Attorneys
Office for the District of Maryland. Finally they cited the efforts of those who
worked on the case from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia, including
Assistant U.S.

Attorneys Magdalena Acevedo, Kacie Weston and Mark Aziz, as well as Assistant
U.S. Attorney Thomas Swanton, who assisted with the forfeiture aspects of the investigation..
