A Broward County man who ran a multi-generational cocaine ring faces a mandatory minimum of 13 years in prison after a jury found him guilty on all counts following a three-week trial.
Teddy McCall, Jr. was convicted of racketeering, conspiracy to racketeer, cocaine trafficking, possession with intent to sell, and maintaining properties for drug trafficking. The verdict concludes a massive investigation that began seven years ago when the Broward County Sheriff’s Office launched a wiretap operation targeting South Florida narcotics networks.
Evidence presented by the Office of Statewide Prosecution showed that McCall didn’t just sell drugs—he structured the operation as a family enterprise. Prosecutors proved he directed the ring’s transactions, managed the cash flow, and used his own parents to package and distribute the cocaine.
During the trial, McCall’s defense team tried to shift the blame entirely onto his parents. However, state prosecutors overcame that defense with a mountain of physical and digital evidence, including wiretapped phone calls, surveillance videos, and raids on McCall’s properties. Law enforcement officers recovered large quantities of cocaine alongside distribution paraphernalia, including two industrial-sized cocaine presses hidden inside a warehouse and a storage unit tied to McCall.
“This convicted criminal made drug trafficking into a family business,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said following the verdict. “Thanks to the relentless work of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners, he will face a well-deserved mandatory minimum prison sentence.”
Assistant Statewide Prosecutors Elisabeth Rodriguez and Jillian Tate led the state’s case. McCall remains in custody ahead of his formal sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for June 29, where he faces at least 13 years in the Florida Department of Corrections.
