First Of 19 Indicted Local Gang Members Pleads Guilty

Federal prosecutors say the first of 19 Columbus men charged as associates of the Trevitt and Atcheson Crips gang has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and racketeering charges. 

26-year-old Dominique Bryant is one of the people indicted last year in a racketeering conspiracy that includes five murders, multiple attempted murders, other violent crimes and drug-trafficking offenses. Prosecutors say the gang controlled the King-Lincoln neighborhood through intimidation, fear and violence. The others have yet to enter a plea.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
