In 2021, Trottie Gang members Trottie Moula (Trevon Bell) and Trottie Y Gizzle (Jaquori Lyons) were arrested during a sweep conducted by the Boston Police Department’s Youth Violence Strike Force, BPD SWAT, and City Wide Drug Unit on Wednesday, February 17.

Lyons was apprehended in Dorchester on an outstanding warrant and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and carrying a loaded firearm. He was later released. Bell faced three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and two counts of unlawful possession of ammunition. He remained in custody until his release with a monitoring bracelet.

In November 2023, Trottie Moula pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm, which was seen on Snapchat. He was indicted on three separate cases of unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition in state court. During his home detention with a GPS bracelet, investigators discovered that Bell had posted several videos of himself with firearms on Snapchat, including a video from November 24, 2021, showing him with a black semi-automatic Glock 9mm. Bell pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a gun and was sentenced by Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV to 78 months in prison and three years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Trottie Moula is also facing RICO charges along with Trottie Y Gizzle, Ricky Mazarati (Rickquille McKinney), BDE Keko (Keonte Campbell), and 36 others. Named in a federal indictment in Boston on Wed., February 14, 2024, these charges result from a two-year investigation into gang violence. Over 40 individuals associated with the Heath Street Gang face charges ranging from racketeering conspiracy to drug trafficking, firearms offenses, wire fraud, and various financial frauds, including COVID-related fraud.
