Above video: Your 11 p.m. headlines A man known for carrying a machine gun while perpetrating crimes and for trafficking women in several states, including South Carolina, has admitted operating a major drug-trafficking conspiracy, according to the Department of Justice, Southern District of Georgia.Anthony Wilson Jackson, a/k/a “All Profit,” a/k/a “AP,” 49, of Savannah, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana; conspiracy to engage in interstate prostitution; possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; illegal possession of a machine gun; possession of a machine gun in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime; and money laundering conspiracy, according to Bobby L. Christine, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Georgia.The charges carry a minimum sentence of 30 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison, substantial fines and – if not a life sentence – a period of supervised release after completion of the prison sentence. There is no parole in the federal system.“Anthony Jackson is a gun-carrying pimp who sold human beings just as freely as he trafficked in narcotics,” Christine said. “His freedom, however, will now come to an end with substantial time in federal prison as his future.”According to court documents and testimony, Jackson and two co-defendants – who also have admitted guilt in the case – operated a drug-trafficking operation that distributed thousands of pounds of marijuana throughout the Savannah area.Christine said that in addition, Jackson operated and advertised a prostitution business through an online classified advertising site that trafficked women in the Savannah area and in other cities including those in South Carolina, Virginia, California, Nevada, Maryland and Michigan. Jackson, previously convicted of a felony, was known to carry firearms including a fully automatic pistol while overseeing the drug trafficking and prostitution conspiracies, Christine said. “The plea today is another reminder that ATF and our local, state and federal partners will continue to work together and protect the safety of our citizens,” said Henry Countryman, Acting Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta Field Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).“Jackson and his organization preyed upon the community, distributing poison and destroying lives, thankfully their reign of terror is over,” said acting Special Agent in Charge Robert Hammer, who oversees Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) operations in Georgia and Alabama. “HSI along with its partners will continue to work tirelessly to combat criminal organizations that threaten our communities.”“This is just another step by law enforcement to stand up to the threat of human and drug trafficking organizations who deal dangerous substances on our streets, while also selling human beings,” said Andrew Thornton, Jr., Acting Special Agent in Charge IRS-Criminal Investigations, Atlanta Field Office. “IRS-CI will continue to work with our law enforcement partners in an effort to dismantle illegal narcotics and human trafficking organizations by following the money and leveraging our resources.”
