According to their guilty pleas, as part of a long term investigation being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) into a heroin drug trafficking organization, calls were intercepted over Christian Gettis’ phone which revealed that he distributed significant quantities of heroin to others in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Gettis was assisted in his drug distribution by co-defendants Orlando Antoine Foote, Jr., Dorian Bess, and others.

Phone conversations between Gettis and Foote indicated that Foote distributed significant amounts of heroin in Annapolis and other areas of Anne Arundel County. Foote received the heroin directly from Gettis or through his subordinates and co-conspirators, then distributed the heroin to others. On numerous calls, Foote is heard discussing heroin transactions with co-conspirators, including the price and amount of heroin involved.

Several co-defendants were couriers between Gettis and Guy, who was Gettis’ source of supply of heroin. Co-defendant Recco F. Beaufort was one of the main conduits between Gettis and Guy.
