Terrance Antonio Thomas, Cocaine Trafficking, District of Columbia 2018

More than 2,000 grams of cocaine, over 200 grams of heroin, and 16 firearms have been seized in a massive cocaine trafficking investigation in Washington D.C.

Eighteen people have been arrested following their indictments on federal charges in connection with an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking networks that distributed heroin, crack cocaine, and cocaine in the Washington, D.C. area.

The charges are contained in two indictments unsealed on April 12, 2018, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The indictments charge a total of 27 people with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, crack cocaine, and cocaine. Two of the arrested defendants –Terrance Antonio Thomas, 46, of Temple Hills, Md., and Darius Wilson, 40, of Waldorf, Md. – are charged in both indictments.

One defendant – Zenja Truitt, 47, of Upper Marlboro, Md. – is a teacher in Prince George’s County, Md., and was among those arrested.

Seventeen people were arrested on April 12, 2018, and one turned himself in today. Another was already in custody and eight remain at large.

The prosecution grew out of the efforts of the FBI/MPD Safe Streets Task Force, a multi-agency team that conducts comprehensive, multi-level attacks on major drug trafficking and money laundering organizations.
