Two more persons who were arrested with Jamaican deejay Andrew Davis, whose performing name is “Flippa Mafia” have accepted plea deals from the US Government, and pleaded guilty to narcotics charges. Flippa Mafia however is reported to have other charges pending, and is scheduled to go on trial soon.
The two, Kemar and Roger Davis, are both brothers of the deejay. They pleaded guilty yesterday to first-degree possession, with intent to distribute cocaine, and leading a narcotics trafficking network. Based on their plea deal, the state will recommend that Kemar Davis be given a 20 year sentence in state prison, while for Roger Davis, the state is recommending he be sentenced to 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for November 6.
For Flippa Mafia, he faces pending charges, including a first-degree charge of leading a narcotics trafficking network, which carries a sentence of life in state prison. He and another co-accused, Marsha Bernard, are scheduled for trial later this month.
Flippa Mafia was among eight persons arrested in 2014 under a massive anti-narcotics drive called “Operation Next Day Air” by the US authorities. Prosecutors say the syndicate shipped large quantities of cocaine through parcel delivery services to New Jersey for bulk distribution to other narcotics suppliers and dealers. Flippa Mafia is accused of leading these activities from various locations in Jamaica, California and New Jersey, along with his brother Kemar.
