In a major blow to the state’s narcotics underworld, federal authorities took down a massive drug trafficking ring in 1978, netting a high-profile defendant in the process.
At the center of the operation was Wilkins, a Maryland resident who, according to court documents, played a key role in the massive trafficking operation.
The federal case, United States v. Wilkins, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland on February 1, 1978, charging Wilkins with multiple counts of drug trafficking.
According to sources, the investigation, code-named ‘Operation: Hammer,’ was a joint effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local law enforcement agencies to dismantle the sprawling trafficking network.
The indictment, obtained by Grimy Times, reveals a complex web of actors involved in the trafficking operation, with Wilkins allegedly serving as a key player in the organization’s hierarchy.
