TALLAHASSEE, FL

Tallahassee resident Esaias Jyjuan Tucker, 24, was sentenced to 240 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute powder and crack cocaine. Tucker was the source of supply for a substantial quantity of the drugs being distributed in the Alabama Street corridor.

Tucker’s sentence is part of Operation See Change, a six-month undercover investigation targeting street-level drug distribution along Tallahassee’s Alabama Street corridor. The investigation was initiated in July 2011 by the United States Attorney’s Office, the State Attorney’s Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, the Tallahassee Police Department, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Tucker was one of nine men sentenced in connection with Operation See Change. The others include:

Eddie Jerome Boyd, 44, was sentenced to 262 months
Antwan Santez Bullard, 27, was sentenced to 188 months
Danny Ray Crittenden, Jr., 27, was sentenced to 188 months
Deonte Deangelo Hill, 19, was sentenced to 15 months
Tommy Clarence Jackson, 54, was sentenced to 192 months
Willie Powell, 23, was sentenced to 96 months
Marquiz Donnell Rollins, 32, was sentenced to 10 months
Denson Jacarrus Washington, 24, was sentenced to 188 months

U.S. Attorney Pamela C. Marsh stated that attacking violent crime and making communities safer is one of Attorney General Holder’s highest priorities. ‘Taking such violent felons out of our communities for a significant period of time should send a message of deterrence to others who might be attracted to the gang lifestyle and culture,’ Marsh said.

The cases were prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Coody. The investigation was a joint effort between state and federal agencies, and the cooperation of the agencies involved in the investigation is credited with leading to the convictions in these cases.
