According to court documents and records, in 2018, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and the FBI started investigating the 31 Boys for the suspected sale of illegal drugs in Macon County. Investigators were able to identify individual members of the organization and connect them to the overall drug trafficking venture.
The probe also revealed that Michael Javon Daniel led the group and directed many of the other members’ roles. Statements made by law enforcement in multiple court hearings indicated that the Notasulga location used by the organization frequently operated like a “flea market,” with numerous other dealers, essentially functioning as independent vendors, selling a variety of illegal drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana, the DOJ said.
“The safety of our communities is a top priority for my office,” said United States Attorney Sandra J. Stewart. “So often, violence results when individuals sell drugs and arm themselves while doing so. Communities suffer from the dangerous and harmful operations of organizations like the one at the center of this prosecution. I am grateful for the exceptional work of the law enforcement agencies involved in this case.
“As law enforcement officers we have a duty to protect and serve the citizens of this great state, but we also have a fundamental responsibility to preserve the communities in which they live,” said ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor.
