MESSAGE ADVISORY

Attorney General Bill McCollum’s Audio Message - May 6, 2009


I’m Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum.

Yesterday, my office and law enforcement in the Central Florida area made
substantial progress in our fight against gangs.18 members and associates
of a dangerous drug-trafficking gang were arrested, including the gang’s
leader.

This case will be the first filed using the gang kingpin statute, a new
crime which allows for a life felony sentence against anyone convicted of
leading or directing organized, criminal gang activities.

Together with my partners in Florida’s gang reduction strategies, we will
keep combating gangs with these new tools and better protecting our
neighborhoods and communities.

I’m Bill McCollum, and this has been a public safety update.
