Welcome to episode 73 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 Wands Bureau career was spent as an undercover agent

working dangerous assignments in New York, Miami, Atlanta,

New Orleans, and cities around the country.

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 than 20 other police officers were convicted of extorting bribes and

offering protection to a drug dealer.

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

for his contributions to Operation Shattered Shield.
