EVANSVILLE - NEWS 25 is learning about the arrests of 11 more people in connection to a federal drug bust.

Investigators say Miami based gang, Zoe Pound, which is primarily made up of Haitian immigrants, brought cocaine into the Evansville area.

NEWS 25 visited some of the neighborhoods where the feds say cocaine and cash were stashed.

Agents picked-up one of the federal fugitives, Amber Powell, in Henderson Friday.

Another 10 people were arrested Friday for their role in the case, although they won't see federal charges.

NEWS 25 visited some of the areas where investigators say the drug activity was taking place, but trying to get neighbors to talk about what they know, was difficult.

It was just like any other day in the 600 block of Jackson, near downtown Evansville.

The day after the feds announce arrests of 22 people involved in an alleged cocaine ring which brought drugs to the Evansville area from Miami and Chicago.

"Approximately 40 kilograms of cocaine have been seized as well as $200,000 cash," says Jon Dowd of the U.S. Attorneys Office.

Investigators say two homes on the 600 block of Jackson, acted as storage units for cocaine and drug money.

When NEWS 25 questioned neighbors about what investigators found, we often got a quick, common answer: "No. We don't know nothing about it," says one resident.

The feds say cocaine and cash were housed at 10 Evansville properties.

One resident tells us, neighbors who call the cops are often retaliated against--- broken windows and pets attacked.

"This has always been this way. Drugs, drugs, drugs," says a second resident.

She tells NEWS 25, drugs have long been a problem on the block, and the two homes are not the only problem. She says the block is constantly filled with traffic.

"They come in here blasting with the music on. You know that's how they do it. They come in, go out and they gone."

In another block, the problem seemed to be more discrete, one resident tells NEWS 25 she was shocked to hear the news.

"I was like, 1603 Morton? I was like what happened down there? It's always quiet over here. This street is really quiet."

Fourteen of those arrested on federal charges are being held at in Henderson's federal facility.

Here's a complete list of those Evansville/Henderson residents arrested facing federal charges:

Jean Sterling, 36 (also of Miami)
Sledge Seide, 33
Francoeur Pierre, 30

Zoe Pound, the violent freak black Haitian gang in Miami, punk thug Trayvon Martin was stealing for them in Florida where he was sent after being suspended from school for having burglary tools in his backpack, along with a dozen pieces of expensive jewelry, which the black police officers never charged him with under orders from the police chief who was out to reduce black juvenile crime to look good, instead listing the jewelry as 'found items'.
It looked good on paper, truly hoaxed the country. For that crime, Trayvon was shepped to Florida.
In 2010, there were 40,000 Haitians there in Miami. Wherever Haitians live in groups, they are stealing.
TNB magnified.

Just Another Al Sharpton Race Hoax

The Trayvon Hoax by Joel Gilbert (JG) truly is an incredible book. Where does one start to explain why? well. after reading it I took notes from my favorite parts. They are as follows:

1) JG obtains a 750-pages long report of all cell phone records in the George Zimmerman case.

2) In order to understand black Florida adolescent text (BFLAT), JG makes excellent use of The Urban Dictionary.

3) After meeting with a Voodoo priest, JG is told that Diamond [Eugene] is no good. She has a bad heart."

4) With amazing ease, JG obtains 16 yearbooks from four different high schools in Miami, from Trayvon Martin's sophomore year to 2014.

5) JG obtains the signature of Brittany (Diamond) Eugene and is able to confirm that 'Eugene' matches that of the Sybrina letter.

6) JG reveals that the Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail (not iced tea) on Trayvon's person was most likely meant to create a druggy concoction called "purple lean."

7) "[N]o one in the media thought to do what I was doing, namely examine the record Trayvon and Diamond created of that life. ... The media had no interest in the truth than the prosecutors." (p. 97)

8) In clever fashion, JG got handwriting samples from the real Diamond and filmed her doing so.

9) JG used the information from Diamond's Twitter account and matched her tweets with the text messages sent to Trayvon. He also obtained the tweets of Jeff Walter, Diamond's boyfriend.

10) "Trayvon's final conversation with Diamond lasted nearly four minutes. ... What they spoke about during those four long minutes we do not know. Diamond never testified under oath." (p.155)

11) "Diamond had told Trayvon she came from a tough family. She bragged about her access to guns. For his part, Trayvon may well have wanted to make an impression." (p.156)

12) "[T]he fallen Trayvon requested of his shooter, George, 'Tell Mama 'Licia I'm sorry.' ... Trayvon knew it was he who was at fault."

13) "In the letter she delivered to Sybrina, Diamond claimed nonchalantly, 'In my mind I thought it was just a fight. Then I found out this tragic story.' No, Diamond had to know more based on her frantic reactions."

14) "But given her desire to keep Jeff from finding out about Trayvon, her father's criminal history with the Haitian Zoe Pound gang, and the rap sheets of some of her aunts and uncles, coming forward to speak with law enforcement was not an option for Diamond." (p.160)

15) "[K]ey witness Jonathan Good spoke to a local TV news crew and told the reporter what he had seen, namely that Trayvon had straddled George Zimmerman and was pounding away before he heard the shot."

16) "Diamond had good reason to resist. She knew she had lied to [Benjamin] Crump, simply repeating back to him the official Crump narrative and answering questions in the affirmative."

17) "y perpetuating The Trayvon Hoax she [Sabrina Fulton] would help launch Black Lives Matter."

18) "Sybrina Fulton knew that Rachel Jeantel was not Diamond Eugene." (p. 229)

19) "The one thing that is conclusive," said handwriting expert Bart Baggett, "is that Rachel Jeantel did not write the words 'Diamond Eugene.'" (p. 241)

20) Through a DNA test, JG was able to discover that Brittany Diamond Eugene and Rachel Jeantel are half-sisters.
