When Gantt was gunned down October 21st, 2018, another member of the organization said in a wiretapped phone call, the deed was done: “We got the rapper outta there.” Federal prosecutors obtained a racketeering indictment, tying reputed members of N.F.L., to four killings as well as drug overdoses across the region that they say trace back to its drugs. According to their guilty pleas, from 2016 to March 2020, Gregory Butler, a.k.a., “Gotti, little dick, or “Sags, age 31, was the leader of the NFL enterprise and James Henry Roberts, a.k.a., “Bub, age 32, was a member. together, they participated in its illegal activities with other members, including the NFL drug trafficking organization.

During the conspiracy, NFL members distributed large quantities of heroin and cocaine to drug customers and re-distributors from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Butler and Roberts admitted that they obtained narcotics from multiple sources of supply and stored the narcotics in a stash houses that they controlled. Over the course of the charged conspiracy, Butler and Roberts and their co-conspirators distributed over one kilogram of heroin and more than 280 grams of cocaine base. Butler also admitted that he and his co-conspirators also distributed more than 400 grams of fentanyl. Butler admitted that the NFL enterprise sold heroin and fentanyl to multiple drug customers who subsequently overdosed and died. Butler agreed that these fatal overdoses were reasonably foreseeable to him, in light of his direct oversight of the enterprise’s drug trafficking activities. For example, on about August 16, 2018, Butler coordinated the sale of heroin to customer in Rockville, Maryland, who, later that day, used the heroin and died. Another example, fellow drug dealer Donte Bennett was heard on a wiretapped call, That sh!t killed my father. God damn, that’s crazy, yo. responded Gregory Butler.
