The episode focused on Young, and it centered around OGB — one of the largest and most widespread joint law enforcement operations in recent Georgia history, according to officials.
OGB included investigators from Glynn County police, federal investigators, and other agencies to end a “massive, gang-related drug trafficking conspiracy that led to multiple convictions,” officials said.
One of those convictions included James D. NeSmith who is serving life in prison sentence for murder and multiple drug-related crimes, according to Glynn County police.
Glynn police said NeSmith’s collaborators, known as the “Ghost Face Gangsters,” worked with other criminal and white supremacist street gangs around the state. Young is accused of being one of NeSmith’s collaborators.
On Dec. 8, 2022, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Young in the United States District Court, Southern District of Georgia, after being charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute a controlled substance, according to the FBI.
Young has been brought back to the United States, the FBI said.
