Deputies with the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office need help locating two suspects allegedly connected to a drug distribution organization in prisons, BCSO said in a news release Tuesday.
Thirteen people, indicted on April 14, are allegedly connected to a Macon criminal street gang that is accused of distributing drugs in Georgia prisons. While 11 of the indicted have been arrested, two are at large.
Deputies need help looking for Tishon Wiley, 32, and Alexandria Kendall, 28.
Anyone with information about their whereabouts is urged to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or the Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
Operation ‘Macon Gotti’
An operation called “Macon Gotti” was a collaboration between the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crime, Intelligence, Gang and Drug Units, which worked alongside the U.S. Marshals Service Southeast Regional Task Force, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Gang Task Force and the Bibb County District Attorney’s Office.
Law enforcement was looking into a drug distribution organization that reportedly delivered drugs to prisons. Keith Beddingfield Jr. allegedly ran the organization from April 2018 through January.
The name of the operation is taken from “Gotti,” a nickname Beddingfield used throughout the alleged operation. It alludes to John Gotti, “the infamous convicted murderer and leader of New York City’s Gambino crime family,” the indictment said.
It was created to allegedly receive “financial benefits through the enterprise through various forms of racketeering activity, including, but not limited to, robberies, attempted murders, murders and the illegal distribution of contraband within the prison(s) where Defendant Beddingfield was housed,” the indictment states.
Beddingfield remains in prison serving a life sentence. Four of the alleged members — Donnie White, 22, Corey Wallace, 26, Terrell Mills, 43, and Shaun Mills, 41 — were already serving prison time. A 15-year-old indicted in connection with the incident is at the Regional Youth Detention Center.
Adredrequa Kendall, 28, and Oriental Wilson, 29, turned themselves in to the Bibb County Jail.
Deputies recently arrested Andre Diadell, 32, Carlos Sledge, 54, and Melissa Braxton, 54.
