Cops: Leader Of Marijuana Trafficking Operation On The Loose
Cops say that between Dec. 16, 2003, and May 4, 2010, 40-year-old Sylvester Demetrius Thomas led a huge marijuana trafficking operation based in Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.
Thomas is accused of using tractor-trailers to ship more than 34 tons of marijuana to places such as Atlanta and Detroit so that the drug could be distributed. This operation lasted almost nine years.
A federal grand jury indicted Thomas on charges of conspiracy to posses with intent to distribute marijuana, but also with conspiracy to commit promotional money laundering and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.
It is believed the marijuana trafficking ring Thomas was a part of used multiple ways to launder the proceeds from the marijuana sales, including buying real estate, using thousands of dollars to buy luxury cars and also buying shares of stock in a cruise line company.
Cops have arrested five co-conspirators in relation to this case, but Thomas has evaded police.
From Detroit To Atlanta, Manhunt Under Way
Thomas is no stranger to law enforcement. In the past, cops say he's been involved in drug crimes, weapons offenses and also traffic violations.
Cops believe Thomas is dangerous, elusive and always carries a firearm, but there are a few things that may help identify him: He has multiple bullet scars on his right arm from a gun battle with street rivals and is suffering some discoloration on his left hand fingers. Thomas has several aliases but is best known by his street name, "Duck."
Thoughts? The above was from the AMW archives. Thomas was a web-exclusive case on AMW's old website.
