Four Operation Mobile Order Defendants Sentenced to Prison

MACON, Ga. - Four defendants were sentenced to prison this week after the FBI's two-year Operation Mobile Order investigation uncovered their Macon-based armed drug trafficking network, responsible for distributing kilograms of cocaine and resulting in the seizure of 26 firearms, including a machinegun.

"Operation Mobile Order demonstrates the strength and coordination of law enforcement working to dismantle violent armed criminal organizations throughout the Middle District of Georgia," said U.S. Attorney William R. "Will" Keyes. "No matter how long it takes, we will not stop our efforts to shut down criminal groups threatening the safety of our communities."

"Operation Mobile Order dismantled a violent drug trafficking organization that treated a Macon neighborhood like a retail storefront for cocaine, backed by an arsenal of firearms," said Robert Gibbs, Supervisory Senior Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta's Macon office. "This investigation shows the FBI's commitment to targeting criminal networks that fuel addiction, violence and fear in our communities. We will continue to work should-to-shoulder with our partners to make Central Georgia a safer place to live."

"Operation Mobile Order represents the best in local and federal law enforcement partnerships," said Bibb County Sheriff David Davis. "Together, FBI agents and Bibb County Sheriff's Office investigators worked tirelessly to bring this cadre of criminals to justice. Our community is much better off with these peddlers of poison off our streets."

According to court documents and statements in court, in 2022 and 2023, the FBI conducted Operation Mobile Order, a Macon-centered investigation targeting an armed drug trafficking organization led by Reese. During the investigation, the FBI ran nine controlled purchases of cocaine and crack cocaine, and intercepted phone calls and text messages, detailing transactions involving kilograms of cocaine from an Atlanta supplier.

The primary "trap house," or drug distribution site, was on Richard Street in Macon, a busy location that operated like a restaurant, with members of Reese's drug organization working shifts to distribute drugs. In a series of recorded calls, Reese discussed drug overdoses in the community and said that if the drugs came from his Richard Street trap house, "everyone in Macon would be dead."

Reese worked with an Atlanta supplier and was recorded ordering kilograms of cocaine from the supplier and making plans to meet with the supplier to purchase the drugs in October and November of 2023, referring to cocaine as "Tylenol," "charcoal," or acres of land. He began working with a new supplier in November 2023 and was recorded discussing the purchase of five kilograms of cocaine with the new supplier.

Reese's leadership over the drug organization was evident, with many recorded interactions of him directing co-conspirators, for example, ordering one co-conspirator to "do your job" or reminding one co-conspirator, "That's what I pay you for, man. Make you get my money, make you handle the business, man. Get the money, handle the business."

The FBI executed 11 federal search warrants in Macon, Warner Robins and Atlanta on Nov. 20, 2023, including at the Richards Street trap house, seizing cocaine, 26 firearms and $93,247. The machinegun was seized at co-conspirator Oliver's home on Williamson Road in Macon.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

The FBI and the Bibb County Sheriff's Office investigated the case.

U.S. Attorney Will Keyes is prosecuting the case for the Government.
