Mosley, age 52, was responsible for the manufacture and distribution of significant quantities of crack cocaine every week to dozens of individuals, including gang members, who were responsible for operating crack houses in the south Phoenix neighborhood referred to by law enforcement as the “Rock Block.”
The investigation into Mosley began when a car with custom plates raised the attention of an undercover narcotics detective. The officer had his curiosity piqued and the investigation ultimately led to the indictment that netted a large number of gang members and their cocaine suppliers.
Search warrants served at David Mosley’s two residences revealed large quantities of crack and powder cocaine, and approximately $80,000 in cash. It also revealed numerous other items purchased by Mosley with proceeds from his drug trafficking including several valuable newer model and historic vehicles, as well as a massive Air Jordan shoe collection valued in excess of $60,000.
The investigation into David Mosley resulted in the arrest and prosecution of 56 other individuals involved in the distribution of illegal drugs, many of whom are currently serving terms in the Arizona Department of Corrections.
