A key member of an armed drug trafficking organization in Macon was sentenced on April 2 to more than 20 years in federal prison, following a multi-agency investigation known as Operation Mobile Order led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
Antonyo Daniels, also known as “Tony,” age 31, from Warner Robins, Georgia, received a sentence of 250 months in prison and four years of supervised release from U.S. District Judge Marc Treadwell. Daniels had previously pleaded guilty on Jan. 8 to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances.
“Operation Mobile Order sends a clear message that law enforcement at every level is focused on shutting down armed criminal groups threatening the safety of our communities,” said U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes. “Thanks to the coordinated efforts of our law enforcement partners, armed drug traffickers are being held accountable for their crimes with lengthy prison sentences.”
Robert Gibbs, Supervisory Senior Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta’s Macon office, said: “Operation Mobile Order dismantled a violent drug trafficking organization that treated a Macon neighborhood like a retail storefront for cocaine, backed by an arsenal of firearms. This investigation shows the FBI’s commitment to targeting criminal networks that fuel addiction, violence and fear in our communities. We will continue to work should-to-shoulder with our partners to make Central Georgia a safer place to live.”
Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said: “Operation Mobile Order represents the best in local and federal law enforcement partnerships. Together, FBI agents and Bibb County Sheriff’s Office investigators worked tirelessly to bring this cadre of criminals to justice. Our community is much better off with these peddlers of poison off our streets.”
Several other defendants were also sentenced or have pleaded guilty as part of this operation. Devonta Jackson was sentenced on March 2 to over twelve years; Laderion Jacobs received just over eight years; Ladarrious King was given nearly six years; Leroy Mintz was sentenced on Feb. 5 to eleven years; while Eddie Reese (alleged leader), Roddreckious Williams, Alton Oliver, Trayvon Simmons, Marvin Huff and Roosevelt Cole have pleaded guilty and await sentencing.
According to court documents and statements made during proceedings, Operation Mobile Order began after investigators targeted an armed group led by Reese distributing cocaine across Macon between 2022 and 2023 using tactics such as controlled purchases and intercepted communications detailing transactions involving kilograms sourced from Atlanta suppliers.
The primary distribution site operated out of Richard Street in Macon where members worked shifts similar to restaurant employees distributing drugs under Reese’s direction with Daniels acting as his key assistant.
Authorities executed multiple search warrants across three cities last November resulting in seizures including large quantities of cocaine, $93,247 cash and twenty-six firearms—including one machinegun found at co-conspirator Oliver’s home.
This case forms part of Operation Take Back America—a Department of Justice initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration-related crime syndicates nationwide.
