Raleigh -- Eastern District Attorney's Office announced Thursday, Reshod Jamar Everett, 36, of Cumberland County, was found guilty of six felony drug and firearm violations by a federal jury on May 10, 2022.

Everett was accused of running an armed drug trafficking organization out of his home, which he also used as a daycare center. Agents discovered drugs worth more than $65,000 as well as eight loaded firearms, including loaded, high-powered rifles, from the home.

Everett was found guilty of the following:

Possession with intent to distribute a quantity of marijuana and a quantity of cocaine, and aiding and abetting; Possession with intent to distribute a quantity of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and a quantity of tramadol; Possession with intent to distribute a quantity of marijuana, and aiding and abetting

Reshod Everett was charged via Superseding Indictment on August 18, 2021, according to court documents and material produced at trial.
Everett was trafficking substantial volumes of controlled narcotics throughout the Fayetteville region, including from an apartment in Fayetteville, according to investigators with the Fayetteville Police Department.
Agents pulled over a Cadillac driven by co-defendant Alvin Milton Davis as it exited the apartment complex on July 16, 2018. Agents discovered marijuana, cocaine, and a loaded firearm with an extended magazine in the vehicle.
Agents got a search order for the residence the same day and seized over 36 pounds of marijuana, over 300 grams of cocaine, and a loaded CZ Scorpion pistol. Reshod Everett leased the unit, with Alvin Davis identified as an authorized occupant.
Everett's primary residence, investigators discovered, was on Ronald Reagan Drive in Fayetteville, and he and his wife ran an in-home daycare from there.
Agents acquired a search warrant on July 17, 2018, and recovered more than $65,000, eight weapons, ammo, and THC edibles from the premises. Handguns and high-powered rifles were among the weapons, including a PS90 rifle and a loaded DPMS Arms rifle with the selector switch set to "fire." The PS90 gun, according to a witness, was powerful enough to pierce body armor.
Agents recovered nearly 300 grams of concentrated THC wax, tramadol, and drug packaging supplies from a separate shed.
Investigators then discovered Everett's storage unit. A search warrant was issued for the storage facility, which was discovered to contain more than 65 pounds of marijuana on July 18, 2018.
Everett was found guilty of possessing more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, more than five kilograms of cocaine, and a quantity of tetrahydrocannabinol, according to witness evidence (THC).
Alvin Milton Davis, III, a co-defendant, was previously convicted and sentenced to 11 years in jail.
Everett will be sentenced on August 22, 2022, during the court's regular session.
The defendant faces a minimum penalty of 20 years in jail and a maximum term of life in prison.

Michael F. Easley, Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, made the announcement. The Fayetteville Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives investigated the case, and the Internal Revenue Service assisted at trial. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Scott Lemmon and Caroline Webb prosecuted the case.
