TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution has announced the arrest of a supplier involved in a significant drug-trafficking ring operating out of Boynton Beach. William Moyo faces felony charges for trafficking cocaine and conspiracy to traffic cocaine. The investigation revealed that Moyo supplied cocaine and fentanyl to the Big Boi drug-trafficking ring, which has already led to the arrest of 17 defendants.
Attorney General Ashley Moody stated, “Law enforcement continues to take poison peddlers and their deadly products off our streets, and this latest arrest should serve as a warning to anyone looking to traffic drugs in our state. Florida law enforcement will track you down, and my Statewide Prosecutors will ensure you end up in prison.”
The investigation found that Moyo provided multiple kilograms of cocaine and fentanyl to the ring led by Johnson Joseph. Authorities discovered over 20 kilograms of cocaine at Moyo’s residence during a search warrant execution.
The Big Boi drug-trafficking ring distributed fentanyl and cocaine throughout Palm Beach County. During the investigation, authorities seized a total of 50 pounds of cocaine and other illicit substances. To date, 17 defendants have been arrested, with cases still ongoing. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement funded the law enforcement action through the State Assistance Enforcement for Fentanyl Eradication grant.
Moyo is charged with one count of trafficking in cocaine (400 grams or more but less than 150 kilograms) and one count of conspiracy to traffic in cocaine (400 grams or more but less than 150 kilograms).
Attorney General Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution is handling Moyo's case along with those previously arrested in connection with the drug-trafficking ring.
