Jumoke Ace Maceo Cryer, Methamphetamine and Cocaine Trafficking, Minnesota 2024
A notorious methamphetamine and cocaine trafficker has been brought to justice in Minnesota. Jumoke Ace Maceo Cryer, 38, was found guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court for one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine and one count of possession of body armor by a prohibited person, announced U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen.
Cryer is the second defendant convicted as part of this conspiracy. According to court documents and evidence introduced at trial, the defendant conspired with other co-defendants to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine.
The defendant, who was previously convicted of distributing methamphetamine in 2016, was observed on video entering a St. Paul drug stash house and leaving with 140 pounds of illegal narcotics. A subsequent search of his home resulted in the seizure of body armor, which the defendant was prohibited from possessing due to his violent criminal history.
Cryer was found guilty after a 3-day jury trial before Judge Jeffrey M. Bryan. This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the St. Paul Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Raphael B. Coburn and Garrett S. Fields. The investigation and prosecution of Cryer's case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by methamphetamine and cocaine traffickers in our communities.
The people of Minnesota can rest a little easier knowing that justice has been served in this case. However, there is still much work to be done to combat the scourge of methamphetamine and cocaine trafficking in our state.
