Crack Cocaine Ring Busted in Wetumpka

Montgomery, AL – In a major blow to drug trafficking in Elmore County, nine Elmore County residents and one Montgomery County resident were arrested today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Alabama Drug Task Force (CADTF) for conspiring to distribute crack cocaine.

The arrests stemmed from a federal indictment that charged 14 people from Elmore and Montgomery Counties. The indictment, handed down by a grand jury, alleges that the defendants conspired to possess with intent to distribute and distribute over 280 grams of crack cocaine.

The 57-count indictment charges Kevin Levan Elmore, Stacy Rodrekus Calloway, Terry Tyrone Humphrey, Tristan Travis Rawls, Markevius Jerrell Calloway, Jacky Sagers, Tyrone Devontae George, Arthur Rodrequis Young, British Tremaine George, Damichael Orlane Chapman, Carlos Montrell Harris, Duke George, Patrick Demond Hicks, and Robert McKenzie with various crimes related to the conspiracy.

The defendants are accused of using cellular telephones to facilitate drug trafficking, and Stacy and Markevius Calloway are also charged with possessing firearms in relation to their drug trafficking offenses.

“These people were spreading poison to our residents and to our children,” stated U.S. Attorney George L. Beck, Jr. “To make a profit from poisoning your community with drugs is horrendous. Those that spread this poison should be and will be prosecuted.”

According to law enforcement officials, the investigation was spearheaded by the FBI and the CADTF, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office, and the Montgomery Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brandon K. Essig.

Carlos Montrell Harris, 25, of Wetumpka, is still at large and is considered a fugitive. The defendants face a minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
