A man prosecutors called a “drug kingpin” was found guilty of multiple charges, along with his two co-defendants, according to Fox 10.
Glennie Antonio “Little Man” McGee was found guilty of continuing criminal enterprise, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and fentanyl, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and use of people younger than 18 in drug operations.
Prosecutors claim McGee and his wife, Echandza Dianca Maxie, used children to transport large amounts of cocaine and fentanyl. They made enough money to live a lavish lifestyle, according to evidence.
“We’re obviously pleased,” U.S Attorney Sean Costello said. “We’re glad that the jury listened to the evidence, made the decision that they did. We think they took their job seriously, and we are happy that justice prevailed here.”
Maxie was found guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, tampering with evidence and disposing of a firearm to a convicted felon. Her sister, Exavieria Deagnes “DD” Maxie, was found guilty of tampering with evidence and firearms trafficking conspiracy.
The case gained national attention after McGee’s former attorney admitted to using artificial intelligence to write a brief with false case citations. The judge in the case assigned a new judge to represent McGee.
