A federal gang bust resulted in the arrests of 10 people connected to EST Gee's Everybody Shines Together Entertainment. During the bust, law enforcement claimed to have discovered cocaine, guns, a stolen vehicle, and $160,000 in cash.
The FBI's operation was titled, "Project Safe Neighborhoods," and was aimed at taking out criminal organizations in Louisville. While EST Gee was not arrested, Ricos Mosley became his second business partner to be arrested. The rapper's other business partner and manager, Eric Mosley, was arrested last month. Both Ricos and Eric are facing 10-15 years in prison if convicted on weapons and drug-related charges.
"The gang members arrested last week have terrorized our communities for far too long, but they will be held accountable for their actions," said FBI Louisville Special Agent in Charge Jodi Cohen. "To those gang members who continue to operate with a blatant disregard for your fellow citizens, know that we are working tirelessly to identify, investigate, and apprehend you and your associates."
The individuals arrested during the operation are accused of conspiracy trafficking and distributing heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. The 10 people arrested include:
- Eric Mosley, 30
- Ricos Mosley, 33
- Barry Reed, 20
- Zaman Taylor, 21
- Cedric Palmer, 25
- Khasi Jones, 28
- Darrian Toogood, 24
- Aerion Cook, 21
- Dazaray Rice, 27
- Devonzo Summers, 24
