Peewee Longway Pleads Guilty in Federal Drug and Gun Case

The case now heads to a July 9 sentencing within a 10–14 year recommendation.

Overview

  • Quincy “Peewee Longway” Williams pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and to being a felon in possession of a firearm under a deal that dismisses three other counts.
  • Both sides agreed to recommend a prison term between 10 and 14 years, though a judge will decide the final sentence at the July 9 hearing.
  • Prosecutors say investigators tied the rapper’s studio to 3,000 fentanyl pills and six firearms, found more loaded guns at his home, and linked him to a 4 kilogram meth transaction through court filings.
  • Jewelry seized in the case is now listed in a U.S. Marshals auction, where some pieces tied to Longway have drawn bids in the thousands, and listings are bundled with items from other federal cases.
  • Federal forfeiture lets the government sell approved seized property at auction and send proceeds to federal funds, which can leave defendants without access to personal items even before sentencing.
