Nassau County prosecutors have indicted four men in what authorities describe as a multistate drug trafficking operation that used the U.S. mail to send fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine to addresses in Nassau County, Queens and Brooklyn.
Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly announced the indictments Tuesday, saying the investigation uncovered a yearslong conspiracy that allegedly moved more than 100 parcels believed to contain narcotics to 12 states from 2023 through 2025. Investigators said 81 of those shipments were sent to locations in New York, including 21 to Nassau County.
The defendants are Macayo Parrott, 51, of Glendale, Arizona; Bruce Frazier, 51, of Hempstead; Antwann Meyers, 45, of Queens; and Robert Bowie, 50, of Phoenix. All four pleaded not guilty to various felony charges ranging from conspiracy and major drug trafficking counts to criminal possession offenses. Prosecutors said Parrott, whom they identified as a central figure in the case, was arraigned June 2 before Nassau County Judge Tammy Robbins and faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
“For several years these defendants allegedly worked together to move dozens of shipments of dangerous illegal narcotics, including fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine, to states across the country and right here in Nassau County,” Donnelly said. “This incredible bust dismantled a sophisticated drug trafficking network and seized nearly two thousand grams of fentanyl – enough to kill roughly a million people.”
Frazier and Meyers were arraigned March 4, while Bowie was arraigned May 1, court records show. Frazier faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, Meyers up to 30 years and Bowie up to 20 years. Bail was set at $1 million cash or higher for Frazier, Meyers and Bowie, according to prosecutors. Parrott was remanded.
According to the indictment, the investigation began in June 2023 after law enforcement agencies involved in a separate case recovered narcotics, postal parcels and packaging materials believed to be linked to drug shipments.
Authorities said several parcels were tied to delivery addresses in Jamaica, Queens, including a hotel associated with Meyers’ work as a security guard, and that shipping labels frequently used names that did not match the listed sender or recipient addresses.
Investigators later traced parcels electronically to a phone number used by Parrott and linked additional shipments to a Hempstead address associated with Frazier as well as locations in Ridgewood and Brooklyn, prosecutors said. Over roughly 32 months, authorities identified more than 40 packages allegedly sent by Parrott, four of which were intercepted and confirmed to contain narcotics.
Among the seizures cited by prosecutors were about 2,226 grams of methamphetamine found in a parcel intercepted in Phoenix on Jan. 10, 2024; about 201 grams of fentanyl pills seized June 1, 2024, from a package addressed to Hempstead; and about 860.6 grams of fentanyl mixed with cutting agents recovered from a parcel seized in Los Angeles on Nov. 9, 2024. Prosecutors also allege that additional packages mailed in 2025 contained kilogram quantities of fentanyl.
In all, investigators seized more than 4,000 fentanyl pills, two compressed fentanyl bricks weighing about 1,850 grams, more than 2 kilograms of methamphetamine and nearly 1 kilogram of cocaine, authorities said. Prosecutors estimated the street value of a kilogram of fentanyl in the New York metropolitan area at $32,000 to $40,000.
When Meyers was arrested March 4, authorities said they recovered more than 2,000 fentanyl pills from his Queens residence and dozens of cellphones, packaging materials and other documents at Parrott’s Arizona home, and three handguns at Bowie’s residence.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York Task Force Division, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office.
Officials said financial records showed multiple payments totaling nearly $6,000 between Frazier and Parrott and indicated the group used Cash App and credit union accounts to move money connected to the alleged conspiracy. Prosecutors said intercepted phone calls and text messages also captured discussions about shipping narcotics and arranging handoffs.
