NEWPORT NEWS, V.A. (WACH FOX) -- The F.B.I., in conjunction with local police, arrested one of the remaining fugitives accused of being in the Columbia Bloods Street Gang, who were charged in an indictment outlining 134 counts of various felonies.
Antwain Emanuel Brisbon, 27, of Columbia, was arrested after 9 p.m. yesterday in Newport News, VA, after a 5-and-a-half hour tactical operation, according to the Daily Press. He will be detained there until he can be transferred back to Columbia.
Brisbon, also known as Tweeze, or Twan G, is one of 35 people listed on the indictment which was returned June 18th by the District Court of South Carolina, but not unsealed until this week. It includes charges of racketeering, narcotics violations, robberies, federal firearms violations, interstate prostitution and sex trafficking.
The arrest comes amidst a two-year interagency task force targetting the Bloods.
