PENSACOLA MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR DRUG TRAFFICKING AND MONEY LAUNDERING CRIMES https:\/\/t.co\/vfklZTm1ke<\/a> @DEAMIAMIDiv<\/a> @IRS_CI<\/a> @fdlepio<\/a> @PensacolaPolice<\/a> @SantaRosaPolice<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin NDFL (@NDFLnews) June 27, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

According to the feds, Andrews admitted his role in a conspiracy to distribute large amounts of cocaine in Florida\u2019s Escambia County from 2021 through late 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not careful enough<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, Andrews attempted to keep his illicit business under the radar by using a careful modus operandi. The suspect would buy casino chips with cash from his drug sales, only going over a $10,000 transaction limit twice over his three-year operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Evidence of Andrews\u2019 meticulous approach is clear from court documents. In 2023 alone, the Floridian purchased casino chips with cash at Harrah\u2019s on 94 occasions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In keeping under the $10k threshold, Andrews avoided the casinos\u2019 legal requirement to report his transactions to the federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).<\/p>\n

The Bank Secrecy Act requires casinos to submit a financial report to FinCEN whenever an individual makes cash transactions over $10 in a single day.\u00a0<\/div>\n

Despite Andrews\u2019 careful approach, the law finally caught up to him. In a statement announcing Andrews\u2019 guilty plea, the DOJ\u2019s Heekin warned other criminals not to think they can \u201cprofit and live lavish lifestyles off drug trafficking\u201d<\/a> in his Florida jurisdiction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Long time coming<\/h2>\n

Those who believe they can get away with it, continued Heekin, \u201care sorely mistaken, and will soon find themselves in federal prison.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrews faces the maximum penalty of life in prison, plus the forfeiture of a Chevrolet supercar and around $40,000 cash seized during the suspected felon\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n
