Gary Johnson, a leader of the Bloods gang, was convicted on 22 counts related to narcotics distribution, including contributing to three non-fatal overdoses and firearms-related crimes. After a month-long trial, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years, potentially up to life. The verdict signifies a commitment from federal and local authorities, highlighting the seriousness of the ongoing opioid crisis and its impacts on community health. Law enforcement continues to prioritize the disruption of drug trafficking organizations and their dangerous activities that jeopardize public safety.
This Office, along with our law enforcement partners, remains committed to finding, arresting and prosecuting the drug traffickers and gang members who seek to profit from the ongoing opioid crisis.
By distributing highly addictive narcotics, Johnson demonstrated a disregard for communal health and endangered countless residents, even causing three individuals to overdose.
