Description:
Birmingham, Alabama, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with distribution of meth.
Reported by Kent Morlan
Francis Williams also known as “Mookie,” 33, of Birmingham, Alabama, sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant on two occasions. During one of the drug sales, Williams displayed a black pistol. In September 2023, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) issued arrest warrants for Williams for trafficking methamphetamine. On January 26, 2025, United States Marshals Service (USMS) Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Williams after he left a residence on Worchester Court in Birmingham. A state search warrant was obtained and executed at the residence. During the search, ALEA agents recovered a SCCY 9mm pistol and a Glock 9mm pistol with a machinegun-conversion device, commonly referred to as a “Glock switch.” Both pistols had been reported stolen—the SCCY from Homewood in November 2023 and the Glock from Birmingham in September 2021.
Williams is prohibited from possessing a firearm because of multiple prior felony convictions, including a 2013 murder conviction in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County.
