Last month, a Wake County grand jury indicted Williams on five counts of obstruction of justice, accusing him of making false statements and acting “with deceit and intent to defraud.” Because they deemed Williams “not credible,” prosecutors have dismissed the cases of 15 Black men, including Smith, whom Abdullah charged with heroin trafficking between December 2019 and May 2020. It’s since become clear that Abdullah’s informant was anything but truthful. “ has been proven to be truthful and reliable and has provided information to this detective in the past that has always been proven and reliable which has led to numerous drug-related convictions,” Abdullah wrote. But Abdullah vouched for Williams, a 26-year-old on parole after serving seven months in state prison for larceny, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. The report doesn’t mention any witnesses to Smith’s threats. Smith had just been released on bail, Abdullah wrote in a police report. On March 12, 2020-three weeks before the accident-Williams helped Abdullah, a member of the Raleigh Police Department’s vice and drugs unit, bust Sherrod Smith for heroin trafficking. A man in a Ford Fiesta had chased him, pointed a 9 mm handgun at him, and told him he was dead.ĭetective Omar Abdullah never doubted him. He fled the scene of the accident he caused because he feared for his life. said he ran the southeast Raleigh red light because he was in danger.

This led to the eventual bust about two weeks later, which was front page news in the town.Dennis Leon Williams Jr. I ended up getting ripped off, but I picked up enough intelligence about who was in the apartment (3 black dudes, a young white girl, a screaming baby, and a 3-4 year old girl) that the cops were able to put together a case. About a week later I attempted to go over there to do a controlled buy of a quarter pound of weed. Before I left he told me, "I gots some of that white". I bought a dime bag of weed and got his number for more. The paranoid looking black dude answered again and I told him I changed my mind. When I left my dad's apartment, I went back across the hall and knocked. I stayed at my dad's for a few minutes and decided that this guy could be easy money for me. I told him that I didn't do that anymore, and just then my dad opened his. He shut it, but a couple of seconds later he stuck his head out again, and said, I apologized and told him that I wasn't knocking on his door. He was asleep in his bedroom or something because after a couple of knocks, a door across the hall opened and some black dude stuck his head out. I went over to my dad's apartment one day and knocked on his door. (sorry I meant to put this as your reply earlier)Īctually, the guys that had the sawed off shotgun and the kidnapped kids I didn't know at all.

I don't know what happened to every one, but I know most of them went to prison. By doing it, I got off the hard stuff, got my life back into order, and am now clean. On one particular bust, several men were arrested for dealing pot and meth, one was in possession of a sawed off shotgun (plus he was a felon), and there were two little kidnapped girls at the house. It probably saved my life, and I know it saved the life of several children. Since then I've done three more busts, all people who offered to sell me drugs. That night I was afraid to stay the night in my house so I stayed with a family member instead. It was pretty straightforward, make a monitored phone call to the dude, take photocopied cash to the transaction, and wear a wire. I started off by doing two busts in one night: My coke dealer and my meth dealer. I went to the local law enforcement and told them my story and they were more than happy to help me out. After I lost my job, my family and my car, I finally decided that I was better off risking my life getting the pushers off the street than resorting to petty theft to supply my habit (plus I missed seeing my son). Eventually our marriage fell apart and I went off the deep end. I was married and started using coke behind my wife's back.
