Welcome to episode 72 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by true crime FBI cases.

In this episode we get to speak to retired agent Juan Jackson who served in the FBI for 24 years. Most of

In this episode, Juan Jackson is interviewed about his long-term undercover role as

J.J. A drug kingpin in the FBI Group 1 undercover case, Operation

Shattered Shield. Juan, as his alter ego J.J. hired corrupt members of the New Orleans Police Department

to protect his large-scale cocaine operation. The dirty police officers maintained

around the clock guard duty at the warehouse where the drugs were stored.

During the investigation FBI agents monitoring the wiretap of the police officers

overheard some of them repeatedly threatening violence against J.J. and his couriers. The case ended abruptly

when that FBI wiretap also revealed that one of the police officers, Lynn Davis, had ordered a hitman to murder a

woman who had filed a police brutality complaint against him.

In addition to murder, Davis, his partner Sammy Williams, and more

Juan Jackson received the New Orleans Police Department's Medal of Valor

Post retirement, Juan has worked as Director of Security for several NBA teams.

Currently, he is Director of team security for the Philadelphia 76ers.
