CHICAGO — Nine members of the Pocket Town faction of the Gangster Disciples street gang now face federal conspiracy charges in connection with an alleged gun-running operation, masterminded by three U.S. Army soldiers, that brought a host of firearms to Chicago in recent years.
The 21-count indictment, unsealed Wednesday in federal court in Nashville, charges the soldiers and gang members with conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit firearms offenses in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
Along with the soldiers, federal prosecutors charged alleged Pocket Town members Blaise Smith, Raheem Johnson, Bryant Larkin, Corey Curtis, Elijah Tillman, Terrell Mitchell, Lazarus Greenwood, Dwight Lowry and Dreshion Parks. Two other since-deceased members of Pocket Town were listed as unindicted co-conspirators.
The three soldiers — Brandon Miller, Jarius Brunson and Demarcus Adams — were initially charged in 2021 with supplying weapons to gang members in Chicago.
