The final six defendants in a RICO conspiracy operating out of Clarksville were sentenced last week in U.S. District Court, announced U.S. Attorney Mark H. Wildasin for the Middle District of Tennessee. This multi-year investigation resulted in federal charges against 32 gang members and associates, including 12 in this RICO indictment. For more than a decade, Gangster Disciples members engaged in drug trafficking, intimidated witnesses to prevent them from cooperating with law enforcement, protected the gang's drug territory, financed the drug trafficking enterprise, and targeted members of rival gangs and others through murders, attempted murders, and other shootings.
