The Department of Justice announced that a North Carolina daycare owner used his business to hide his illegal drug operation.
From the DOJ statement:
Reshod Jamar Everett, 36, of Cumberland County, was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for leading a drug trafficking operation out of an in-home daycare and other locations in Fayetteville. A jury returned a verdict on May 10, 2022 finding Everett guilty of six felony drug trafficking and firearms related charges.
"Despite Everett's best efforts to undermine the public trust in our local law enforcement partners, investigators were able to build a comprehensive case demonstrating that he was responsible for distributing vast quantities of illegal drugs in the Fayetteville area," said Michael Easley, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina. "The fact that he stored drugs, cash, and loaded, high-powered AR rifles at an in-home daycare further underscores the danger that Everett presented to the community at large."
"For years, Reshod Everett used the compassion of our community to deflect from his criminal activity in order to garner mistrust of the police department," said Fayetteville Police Chief Gina Hawkins. "We are pleased with our continued federal partnership and another drug peddler is out of our community."
This man was selling drugs and running a major trafficking operation AT A DAYCARE!
And he used his position as a daycare business owner to try to deflect blame.
This guy is a piece of work!
From The Western Journal:
The case against Everett began taking shape in 2018, according to the news release. Police initially stopped a car driven by co-defendant Alvin Milton Davis and found drugs and a gun with an extended magazine.
A search of an apartment leased by Everett and occupied by Davis found more than 36 pounds of marijuana, more than 300 grams of cocaine, and a loaded CZ Scorpion gun. The next day, police searched a house that operated as a day care.
During that search, more than $65,000, eight firearms, ammunition, and THC edibles were confiscated. Drug packaging materials were found in an adjacent shed.
Inside the house that doubled as a day care, several high-powered rifles were found.
"One loaded rifle had the selector switch set to ‘fire,' and, as such, only a small amount of pressure on the trigger would have caused the gun to fire," the Justice Department release noted.
Hiding behind small children and endangering numerous kids in order to sell drugs...
