OG Mike Holt was a seasoned Crip who brought West Coast gangster tactics to Texas as an armed robber, dope dealer, and street enforcer. In 2008, I arrested Mike along with 50 other Crips in Operation Fishbowl—one of the most significant federal gang conspiracy cases in U.S. history. Mike was the oldest defendant in the case and was ultimately betrayed by other defendants, resulting in a 20-year federal sentence stacked consecutively on state parole violations—essentially condemning him to life in prison. But here's what makes this extraordinary: Mike is intelligent, likable, and experienced. And now he sits across from me—the ex-undercover cop who arrested him—to discuss life, circumstances, how we both got here, and where we go from here. This isn't just a conversation between an ex-cop and ex-con—it's an exploration of justice, consequences, and the complex humanity that exists on both sides of the law. This is a conversation you've never heard before and will never forget.
