Green Gets 23

A Toledo man is sentenced to spend more than 23 years in prison in federal courtroom…after he pled guilty to a list of charges, stemming from his role in a Toledo-area drug trafficking conspiracy. Jackie Green, 53, was accused of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, distribution of controlled substances, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Prosecutors say… Green and more than 20 others conspired together to traffic large amounts of fentanyl, crack cocaine, and cocaine in the Toledo area. They add… Green received large amounts of drugs from various suppliers and then further distributed those drugs to others. Members of the conspiracy used cell phones and code words to conceal their activity and multiple residences in the Toledo area to store, break down, package, and distribute their narcotics and proceeds. In September 2020, Green was found by law enforcement authorities to be in possession of a firearm. He was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to multiple previous drug trafficking convictions in the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas…all part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces operation. The case was investigated by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, Toledo Metro Drug Task Force, and the Northwest Ohio Interdiction Task Force
