On Mon­day, April 12, when U.S. Drug Enforce­ment Admin­is­tra­tion (DEA) agents were stag­ing raids in con­nec­tion with the lat­est fed­eral indict­ment of mem­bers of the Black Guer­rilla Fam­ily (BGF) prison gang, one of the places they hit yielded another defen­dant. James Bul­lock, whose name was men­tioned in the BGF war­rant, was at his Cedo­nia Park apart­ment when the agents came through the door at approx­i­mately six in the morn­ing. He coop­er­ated with the agents, court records say, telling them where to find the heroin and a gun that were in the apart­ment. Later that day, Bul­lock, who is 37 years old, was charged in U.S. Dis­trict Court with pos­sess­ing heroin with the intent to dis­trib­ute it.

The doc­u­ment charg­ing Bul­lock says agents recov­ered a 9 mm Glock “in the bed­room under the mat­tress, where a child was sleep­ing.” The gun was “in the locked-back posi­tion” and next to it “were two loaded mag­a­zines. Also in the bed­room was a bal­lis­tic vest.” The heroin, much of it pack­aged in gelatin cap­sules and in bag­gies, was recov­ered from “a pot on the kitchen counter,” in a child’s cup on a kitchen shelf, in another child’s cup in the dish­washer, and in an ash­tray in the liv­ing room. In addi­tion, the agents found “two bot­tles of qui­nine, used to process heroin,” a “large bag with sus­pected cut­ting agents,” a “large bag with empty gelatin cap­sules,” and “four Cap M’ Quick units,” which are used to fill gelatin capsules.

The BGF war­rant says Bullock’s apart­ment, on Vali­quet Avenue, was a “poten­tial stash loca­tion” for Todd Dun­can, one of the 12 defen­dants in the indicted case. The war­rant also states that Bul­lock “has a sig­nif­i­cant crim­i­nal his­tory, includ­ing two prior drug dis­tri­b­u­tion felonies,” and points out the he was arrested in August 2007, along with one of Duncan’s co-defendants, Davon McFad­den, for “par­tic­i­pat­ing in a craps game in the 700 block of East Pre­ston Street.” The Pre­ston Street loca­tion is one block away from BGF co-defendant Kim McIntosh’s home, where the BGF held meet­ings, accord­ing to court documents.

Bul­lock could not be reached for comment.
