GRIMY TIMES EXCLUSIVE: Two Akron men have been thrown into the grimy spotlight after being indicted for their alleged roles in a massive cocaine conspiracy. Jermaine D. Bailey, 39, and Leonard B. Tyler, Jr., 32, are both facing charges of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute approximately 245 grams of cocaine. The drugs were said to be involved on November 13, 2013.
This isn’t just any drug deal; this is a significant chunk of cocaine that, if convicted, could lead to sentences that far exceed the statutory maximum. The United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, Steven M. Dettelbach, has emphasized that sentences will be determined by the unique factors in each case.
The investigation into this grimy drug ring has been a joint effort between the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Akron Police Department. Kevin Culum, Trial Attorney, is handling the prosecution of these high-profile cases.
It’s important to note that an indictment is merely a charge and does not equate to guilt. Bailey and Tyler are entitled to a fair trial where the government will have to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
While this grimy tale of drug trafficking continues to unfold, it serves as a stark reminder of the relentless efforts by law enforcement to crack down on organized crime in Ohio.
The Akron duo’s future now hinges on the outcome of their trial. Stay tuned to Grimy Times for updates on this gritty case.
