United States Attorney George L. Beck, Jr. announced today that five individuals that were either members of or associated themselves with the Bloods street gang in Montgomery, Alabama have been convicted for their involvement in a series of violent crimes that occurred in 2009.  Reco Mareese Daniels, age 30, Courtney Djaris Wilson, age 28, Willie George Tallie, age 26, Anthony Darrell Tallie, age 32, and Damien Michael Pierce, age 27, were indicted in August of 2011 by a federal grand jury on conspiracy, carjacking, robbery, and firearms charges related to a series of violent crimes committed in Prattville, Pike Road, and Montgomery over a four-month period in 2009. After the return of the Indictment, Anthony Darrell Tallie and Willie George Tallie entered pleas of guilty to the crimes with which they were charged.  Anthony Tallie pled guilty to attempted carjacking and brandishing a firearm during the course of that crime.  Willie Tallie pled guilty to robbing a convenience store at gunpoint and brandishing a firearm during the robbery.  Last Friday, a jury returned guilty verdicts against Daniels, Wilson and Pierce after a week-long trial in federal court in Montgomery. The jury found Daniels, Wilson, and Pierce guilty of conspiring to use and carry firearms during multiple violent crimes.  The jury found Daniels and Wilson guilty of an attempted carjacking that occurred in Prattville, a home invasion and carjacking in Pike Road, and the robbery of a convenience store in Montgomery.  Pierce was convicted of participating in the Pike Road home invasion and carjacking with Daniels and Wilson.  Daniels, Wilson, and Pierce were also each found guilty of discharging a firearm during that offense.
