Pastor James Fields
I Ran a Multi-Million Dollar Drug Operation — Then the Feds Took Me Down
Pastor James Fields grew up in Connecticut in a good family, but after high school he made a decision that changed his life — stepping into the drug game during the height of the 1980s. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares how he built a massive drug operation, at one point making over $1,000 a minute and amassing millions, all while beginning to transition into the music business as a way out. Just as he was trying to leave that life behind, the feds caught up to him, leading to a 20-year federal prison sentence. Pastor Fields breaks down how he built his empire, what the drug game was really like in the 80s, what ultimately got him arrested, and how he survived years in federal prison. He also opens up about turning his life around, finding faith, and rebuilding with purpose after prison — offering a powerful story of success, consequences, and redemption.
