The school hired him as Dean of Academic Affairs. Less than a month later, local authorities arrested him. They charged him with attempted murder, trafficking cocaine and distribution of marijuana.
His professional experience has included mediation between teachers and students, communicating with families when students are struggling, and anger management. Known as an anti-violence activist, community organizer, and youth worker, he helped teens solve their problems. In reality, he was nothing more than a street thug who recruited at-risk and vulnerable students into his gang to sell drugs.
The police chief at the time said:
“He was an anti-violence activist. Why is he on our radar?”
When the dean sensed that a student no longer wanted to sell drugs, he met him at a gas station and shot him in the back of the head. Security cameras recorded the crime. Unfortunately for the former dean, the student survived and identified him as the culprit.
After a two-week trial, a jury found the 58-year-old former dean guilty of armed assault with intent to murder. The judge sentenced him. 26 years in prison. In sentencing, the judge said:
“You professed to be religious and promoted yourself as someone who could be a mentor to troubled youth… We have violated their safety by bringing in drugs and violence.”
Years later, while gang leaders were being arrested across the country, the task force charged the former dean with racketeering conspiracy even though he was still serving his sentence. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to carry out corporate affairs by racketeering. The judge sentenced him. 18 years in prison The time served for previous offenses will be reduced by eight years. Both sentences included several years of supervised release if he were released from prison. #attemptedmurder #double life
