In October, 2011 800 law enforcement officials served dozens of arrest warrants in Arkansas. It was the culmination of a massive drug and corruption bust called Operation Delta Blues. As CNN reported at the time:
Five law enforcement officers were among 70 people in Arkansas charged in a federal drug-trafficking crackdown that also involved public corruption charges, authorities said Tuesday.
The five officers took bribes to look the other way while crimes were being committed, authorities said.
The drugs and crooked cops had taken place in rural north-east Arkansas, in a small town not far from Memphis, Tennessee called West Helena, Arkansas.
One of the police officers arrested was a man named Winston Dean Jackson. He later pled guilty and is now serving time.
As the FBI press releasee about Mr. Jackson’s conviction says:
Beginning no later than January 2010, and continuing through October 2011, in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas, Winston Dean Jackson, a Phillips County deputy sheriff, was aware that Sedrick Trice and Leon Edwards were distributing cocaine, crack cocaine, and/or marijuana out of AC Customs located at Highway 49 and Business 49 and elsewhere in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas. Jackson, in his capacity as a law enforcement officer, assisted and protected Sedrick Trice, Leon Edwards, and their associates in exchange for cash payment, thus facilitating Sedrick Trice and Leon Edwards’s distribution of illegal drugs, including at least 500 grams of cocaine.
If you’re gullible, you might that convicted corrupt cop Winston Dean Jackson longed for nothing more than to be a farmer. He’s one of the tens of thousands of people who filed a claim in the Pigford II claims process introduced by Senator Obama and then signed into law by President Obama.
If you go though the massive document of Pigford II late filers. you’ll find his name and former address.
A lot of people from West Helena filed Pigford II claims. As I mentioned, it’s a short drive from Memphis, the home of the BFAA.
