Good Documentary..
Backdrop summary:
Thelmon “Tee” Stuckey is a shadowy legend of the Detroit underworld. In the early 2000′s he was sentenced to life in Federal prison for drug trafficking and homicide; he narrowly avoided a death sentence-one of his initial charges was for the murder of a disgraced former Detroit Police officer who’d been kicked off the force for brutality and got involved in the city’s out-of-control crack trade.
Known on the streets as “Lucky Stuckey” he was sentenced to 40 years for attempted murder at age 18, but had the conviction reversed on appeal after just a few years. Once released, according to Detroit and Federal law enforcement, Stuckey and others from his near west-side neighborhood of Puritan Avenue became major players on the streets of Detroit.
Stuckey’s cousin Proof, Eminem’s right hand man, became Stuckey’s partner in his “Motor City” Record label, and Stuckey just missed being the man to sign Eminem to his first major contract.
Just as his recording career was taking off, Stuckey was arrested for murder again. This time, he was accused of killing a man in front of a Detroit night club and spraying the Detroit police with his AK-47. Amazingly, Stuckey’s ace legal team helped him not only beat this case also, but successfully sued the Detroit police department for a six figure settlement.
Eventually, Stuckey’s luck ran out, and, just as the new millennium was rolling in, the Feds were rolling out a series of indictments that accused Stuckey of multiple homicides and trafficking hundreds of kilos of cocaine
This was the result of a Federal Investigation on Stuckey that brought the members of Puritan Avenue intense scrutiny by law enforcement throughout the 1980s and 90s.
The investigation would also be of significance in a latter investiation of another larger than life Detroit Underworld figure known as Demetrious "Big Meech" Flenory.
Demetrius Flenory association with PA Boys members, such as Damone "Slim" Brantley, Reginald "The Dude" Danzy, and one of the organization's enforcers, Thelmon "T-Stuck" Stuckey, who would later be sentenced to life in federal prison, is what initially brought him to the attention of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Federal Investiagors noticed intresting parallels between Demetrious "Big Meech" Flenory's life and activites and those of T. Stuckney, both Detroit area natives made the transition to Atlanta to pursue business ventures in the music field during the 90's...
