Here is where the ‘Crossley Hill Boys’ drug cases stand

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - In 2020, federal law enforcement officers rounded up 42 people named in a sweeping indictment alleging a conspiracy to sell methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl and other drugs.

Federal prosecutors alleged at least four people died from drug overdoses and “numerous” others went to hospitals at the hands of the conspiracy, dubbed the “Crossley Hill Boys.”

Now, all 42 cases have been adjudicated, and many have been sentenced. Only one defendant went to trial – William Grant “Whip” Owens. A jury convicted him last month. He is scheduled to be sentenced in June and faces substantial prison time.

Prosecutors asked a judge in August to drop charges against three people who owned a motel – Paresh Patel, Jaikumar “Jay” Rameshbai Patel and Mitesh Desai.
