MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - A federal judge on Friday scheduled a hearing to consider a request by prosecutors to lock up a woman accused of flouting her conditions of pretrial release on gun charges with out-of-state travel – including to an NBA game.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office alleges that Exavieria Deagnes “DD” Maxie, 37, made repeated trips out of state without permission.
Maxie faces charges of firearms trafficking conspiracy, illegal gun possession and evidence tampering. She is named in the same indictment that accuses her brother-in-law, Glennie Antonio “Little Man” McGee, of running a multimillion-dollar drug distribution network in Mobile. Prosecutors have called him a “kingpin” and allege that he used children as couriers.
The case came to light publicly last year after the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office reported raiding a home near Henry Aaron Park in Mobile and finding a 3-year-old child wearing a backpack filled with cocaine.
Maxie has been allowed to remain free while awaiting trial, scheduled for next month. Prosecutors earlier this month presented allegations to a judge that Maxie attended an Atlanta Hawks game on Oct. 25 and showed a photo Maxie posted on her Facebook page. But she told the judge that it was an old picture that she reposted.
Investigators obtained cell tower information that prosecutors say shows Maxie lied, and they laid out a long list of other unapproved trips they say she made outside of the Southern District of Alabama, including Biloxi, Chicago, Dallas, Milwaukee, Montgomery, New Orleans and Pensacola.
“For more than a year, Maxie consistently has violated the Court’s orders releasing her on conditions,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
Maxie cannot argue that she was unaware of the travel restrictions, prosecutors argued, since she requested permission in June to travel to Puerto Rico. A judge denied that request.
Prosecutors documented trips dating to October 2024, when she spent several hours in downtown Pensacola. Other trips listed in the court filing include overnight stays at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi in February and April, a half-dozen stays in New Orleans and flights to Milwaukee and Chicago. She also made multiple trips to Pensacola and Atlanta, according to the allegations.
“The above-referenced T-Mobile records and data prove that Maxie has flouted the Court’s travel restriction time and again,” prosecutors wrote. “She did so with full knowledge that she required permission to leave the district, which she never obtained. This was not an isolated occurrence; she thumbed her nose at the Court’s orders over and over again. And on December 1, 2025, when pressed about her public Facebook post showing her at an Atlanta Hawks game in October 2025, she brazenly lied to the Court about it.”
Maxie’s hearing is scheduled for Monday.
