============================================================

Yo what's good, Streets TV family, y'all already know how we moving over here, no fairy tales, no glorifying the madness, just raw documented street history told exactly how it went down, this ain't Hollywood, this is paperwork, indictments, surveillance footage and federal bids measured in decades, today we bringing you to Hampton Roads Virginia where what seemed like regular street hustling transformed into a 10-year federal investigation, whole cell supply at the summit, mid-level crews pushing serious product, multi-state raids before the sun came up and courtroom verdicts carrying life-level consequences, this saga stretches from 2007 straight through to 2018, over 100 bricks of heroin allegedly flowing through the channels, dozens of players, hundreds of years in combined sentences and a mandatory life bid hanging over the dome of the man prosecutors labeled the upstream connect, if you down with real street documentaries, the type that connect the dots from block to bulk to federal courtroom, you in the right spot, lock in, this is Wicked Streets TV, back in 2007 while most people was just trying to survive whatever the year was throwing at them, federal documents say Lee Roy Purdue, 45, out of Portsmouth was allegedly constructing something way heavier than reputation, he was operating a heroin conspiracy that stretched its shadow across Hampton Roads for a full decade, a 10-year run from 2007 through 2017 with prosecutors later claiming the organization moved more than 100 bricks of heroin over those 10 years, more than a dozen local dealers was reportedly getting fed wholesale quantities by Purdue, he wasn't just hustling, he was allegedly supplying the hustlers, the faucet, the pipeline, the type of figure every city's underworld eventually whispers about, the one who don't gotta touch the corner because the corner touches him, then by November 2013 another layer slid into position in Portsmouth, court documents later pointed to Alonzo Outten, then 34, as the head of what became known as the Outten drug trafficking organization, and this wasn't no rag tag crew, from November 2013 through July 2015 prosecutors say Outten managed the manufacture and distribution of between 30 and 90 bricks of heroin, street value they estimated between 1.5 million and 4.5 million dollars, authorities also said roughly 3.75 million dollars worth of heroin moved through Hampton Roads during that stretch alone, and here's where it stops being just money talk, they connected heroin from the organization to five overdoses in early 2015, five people, that's the kind of detail that hits different, it's one thing to talk about volume, it's another to realize that volume translates to ambulance lights and courtroom statements, now here's what stands out, the Outten organization wasn't sloppy chaos, it was structured, Outten at the top, under him six mid-level workers, under them about a dozen more workers helping with preparation, packaging, facilitating and distributing heroin, that's a chain of command, almost corporate, just with scales and jail caps instead of conference calls, everybody had a lane, everybody had a role, and the reach didn't stop at independence, Outten supplied heroin in brick quantities to at least two Blood-affiliated gang sets operating locally, one, the Imperial Gangster Bloods led by Chris Killer Smith, two, the Guerrilla Mafia Piru led by Theodore Flatline Van, Van pleaded guilty on June 25th 2015, Smith pleaded guilty on July 28th 2015, both admitted involvement in heroin distribution connected to the larger investigation, and here's the wild part, when you look at it without hype, just facts, you see two tiers allegedly operating in the same region, Purdue's organization stretching across a decade supplying more than a dozen dealers, then Outten's structure running beneath that larger current for nearly two years, moving bricks, feeding gang sets and pushing millions in estimated street value, it's like watching dominoes lined up across years instead of blocks, the numbers is cold, the structure is calculated, the guilty pleas in mid 2015 show how fast it shifted once the indictments started landing, from 2007 forward Hampton Roads wasn't just dealing with scattered street sales, according to federal records it was dealing with layered heroin distribution networks, wholesale at the top, mid-level management underneath and street level packaging at the bottom, and once the paperwork caught up, those layers started getting peeled back one by one, back in November 2013 while all this weight was allegedly moving through Hampton Roads, another name pops up in the paperwork, Sharita Nicks, Brooklyn born, yeah Brooklyn, so now you already know this ain't just some local shuffle, this thing had New York text threads in it, Delaware State Police jammed her up with more than 500 grams of heroin and 168 grams of cocaine, court docs say she had been texting with Alonzo Outten, New York suppliers, negotiating heroin and cocaine purchases, text messages, digital paper trail, you know how it goes, once it's in writing it ain't just street talk no more, after that Delaware arrest she didn't just sit around waiting on the next knock, she became a fugitive, vanished into the wind for a minute, then on July 20th 2015 she turned herself into federal authorities, that's the kind of move that tells you the heat wasn't cooling off, it was building, now while that was bubbling, 2014 in Portsmouth was looking like a whole different movie, you had the Saunders brothers, Jeremy and Jason, running their own situation, February 2014 police hit an apartment they was using as a base, inside, powder cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin and two firearms, that's a full menu, and Jeremy, he tried the bolt when the SWAT team came through with the warrant, you already know how that looks, armor trucks, heavy vests, neighbors peeking through blinds like it's a live episode of Cops, he gets arrested trying to run, not exactly low key, they post bond, they're back out, and instead of folding the operation they relocate to Appomattox Avenue, that's that new crib same hustle move, but it didn't stay quiet, court records talk about violent confrontations between the Saunders organization and members of the Imperial Blood Gangsters, that's when it stops being just weight and turns into war stories, August 2014 Jeremy gets robbed and shot, and not some random scuffle, prosecutors later described it like somebody tried to execute him, five days later there's a gun battle on Appomattox Avenue, bullets flying in the street, that's the kind of scene you hear about in Philly, in South Chicago and parts of Brooklyn back in the day, turf tension spilling out into open air, and the numbers tied to Jeremy Saunders, they heavy, he pleaded guilty to distributing more than 131 pounds of cocaine, four pounds of heroin and a half pound of crack, he gets 25 years in federal prison, curtains, now here's where it gets messy in that small world way street stories always do, authorities said the Saunders operation and the Outten organization operated independently, separate structures, separate management, but they shared a personal connection through Latina Latrice Jackson, she was romantically involved with Alonzo Outten and was also connected to the Saunders operation, same woman, two separate drug organizations, same city, that's the kind of overlap that makes you shake your head like yo this is how the streets tangled themselves up, not conspiracy theory, just documented proximity, then summer 2015 hits and the federal gloves come off in public, on July 8th 2015 a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia drops an indictment charging Alonzo Outten and six co-conspirators with conspiracy to manufacture, distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, that's when it stops being rumors and starts being docket numbers, so you got Brooklyn text threads, Delaware seizures, SWAT raids in Portsmouth, gun battles on Appomattox Avenue, 131 pounds of cocaine on one side and then a federal indictment landing on the other, different players, same region, overlapping circles, and once the feds step in the story shifts from street chapters to courtroom chapters real quick, now picture this, it's the early morning hours of July 14th 2015, we talking before the sun even stretches, and out of nowhere it's like Hampton Roads turned into a scene out of a federal crime series, more than 250 law enforcement officers from three states and DC rolling at the same time, that's a full on sweep, they hit 14 properties across Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Suffolk, all at once, simultaneous, coordinated, like somebody pressed a button, the lineup wasn't light either, FBI Norfolk field office, Chesapeake Police Department, Portsmouth Police, Virginia State Police, DEA agents and US Marshals, that's federal weight, not local flex, they was moving with the kind of force that tells you somebody up top signed off on this in the biggest way possible, warrants in hand, doors coming off hinges, and when the dust settled, they had arrested Alonzo Outten, the organization's head, along with multiple co-conspirators, the indictment was specific, the charges was specific, and the message was unmistakable, the layers of protection that had been built up over nearly two years of operation got dismantled in a single morning, now during that same operation they also took down key players from that Sharita Nicks connection, New York suppliers faced charges, Delaware dealers got indicted, the whole network that had been operating in text messages and phone calls suddenly was paperwork in federal court, Alonzo Outten knew what was coming after that sweep, he was looking at manufacturing and distributing heroin, looking at conspiracy charges, looking at the kind of numbers that don't end in probation, on November 10th 2015 Alonzo Outten pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture and distribute heroin, he admitted to his role running that organization from November 2013 through July 2015, he admitted to the structure, the supply lines, the gang connections, everything, the plea agreement laid it bare, and on March 10th 2016 when sentencing came down, Alonzo Outten got 20 years in federal prison, that's two decades, that's a substantial chunk of a life, 20 years to sit in a federal penitentiary and think about how a two-year operation turned into 240 months, his co-conspirators started getting sentenced too, some less than him, some equal time, but all of them heading to federal facilities with numbers attached to their names, the Outten organization that had moved millions in heroin, that had supplied gang sets, that had operated with structure and organization, that had connected Brooklyn to Delaware to Virginia through text messages and phone calls, got erased from the streets in one coordinated morning and then dismantled in courtrooms over the next several months, and here's the thing about federal cases, the paperwork don't lie, the convictions stick, and the time accumulates, Lee Roy Purdue, the upstream connect, he eventually faced his own indictment and charges related to his decade-long operation, he pleaded guilty and got federal time for his role in the larger conspiracy, the Saunders brothers, the gang affiliates, Sharita Nicks when she turned herself in, the New York suppliers, they all moved through the federal system and came out the other side with sentences, some of them still in, some of them still counting years, because that's what happens when you build something layered and complex in a region, when you establish supply lines that cross state boundaries, when you connect your operation to gang affiliates and international text threads, you're not just dealing with local police, you're dealing with federal task forces, you're dealing with DEA, FBI, US Marshals, and they got the resources, the patience and the legal mechanisms to build cases that take years but stick forever, the story of Alonzo Outten and the operation he ran for those two years is a case study in how street economics eventually collide with federal investigations, how structure and organization that looks smart on the streets looks like conspiracy in a courtroom, how volume that seems impressive in neighborhood terms becomes federal weight when it's measured in pounds and bricks, how personal connections between organizations create vulnerabilities that prosecutors exploit, how text messages that feel private become evidence that prosecutors present, and how a morning with 250 law enforcement officers and 14 simultaneous raids can dismantle what took nearly two years to build, Alonzo Outten's legacy ain't about respect on the corner or reputation in the streets, it's about what happens when you ascend to that mid-level position, when you got enough power to supply multiple organizations and enough visibility to attract federal attention, when you think you can operate a distribution network with multiple layers and multiple connections without the authorities eventually mapping it all out and taking it all down, his story, combined with Lee Roy Purdue's decade-long run, the Saunders brothers' violent expansion, Sharita Nicks' interstate coordination and the gang affiliates' involvement in the larger network, tells the complete narrative of Hampton Roads heroin distribution from 2007 through 2015, and it's a narrative that ends in federal prison cells, lengthy sentences, dismantled operations and a reminder that in the modern era, with surveillance, with digital communications, with coordinated task forces operating across state lines, the street game ain't got the longevity it used to, volume looks impressive until it gets measured in federal court, organization looks smart until it gets diagrammed as conspiracy, and two years of operation looks successful until it results in 20-year bids, that's the real street history, that's what the paperwork shows, that's Alonzo Outten's actual legacy.
