Alleges "open-air drug market" in 2000 block of Gordon Street

Federal prosecutors say that 13 people have been indicted on charges of trafficking narcotics in and around Hannibal, and that an open-air drug market existed in the city.

The US Attorney's Office in St. Louis announced the indictments Thursday, saying that police and federal agents made a series of early-morning raids and arrests in the St. Louis and Hannibal areas Wednesday. In a statement, prosecutors say the indictments were first handed down in December, and allege that 45 year old Tyrone Williams of Hannibal, a.k.a. “Fatman”, and a St. Louis man, Justin Woodson, a.k.a. “Juddy”, got the cocaine from a source in Austin, Texas, who brought it to St. Louis. It was then brought to Hannibal, where it was converted into crack cocaine for distribution, primarily at an open-air drug market in the 2000 block of Gordon Street. Prosecutors say that the ring also distributed heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine in Hannibal and other areas of eastern Missouri. In addition to criminal charges, the indictment also seeks forfeiture of three vehicles and three pieces of property in Hannibal. In addition to Williams and Woodson, six others from Hannibal were indicted, along with 25 year old Sierra Parrish of Quincy. Seven of the defendants will have a hearing Friday in Federal Court in St. Louis.

The case was investigated by multiple law enforcement agencies in Illinois and Missouri, as well as the Drug Enforcement Administration. Here is the full list of those indicted: 

Justin Woodson, 31, St. Louis, MO;

Tyrone L. Williams, 45, Hannibal, MO;
