A notorious St. Paul-based meth kingpin, Jumoke Ace Maceo Cryer, was convicted of running a massive narcotics operation that flooded Minnesota streets with deadly meth and cocaine.
Prosecutors say Cryer, 38, was caught on video strolling into a local stash house, leaving with a staggering 140 pounds of illicit narcotics.
But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Authorities claim Cryer ran a sophisticated operation, using multiple co-conspirators to distribute massive quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine.
A raid on his home turned up body armor, a prohibited item due to Cryer’s violent past.
Cryer’s conviction marks the second in this high-stakes conspiracy. He’s facing years behind bars.
