With Williams in prison, there was an opening for control of the large drug network, and one of his relatives was expected to take over. But the relative sold heroin to undercover agents and ended up in his own prison cell.
That left the ambitious Rolando Williamson, who decided to grab that top spot for himself. In time, he grew the drug network to an even larger organization and established close ties to Mexican suppliers.
But while he was building his drug network, FBI agents were building a case against him. An informant told them Williamson was one of Williams’ customers, and agents found his number listed on Williams’ phone logs.
Eventually, some of his trusted associates betrayed him, helping investigators dethrone Williamson and topple the drug ring.
A secret recording gave investigators a glimpse at the inner workings of Williamson’s drug ring, including details about a drug rip off, a warning about a possible kidnapping and a desire to order a revenge killing.
