Dennis Okeefe, drug dealer extraordinaire who, by the looks of his face, didn't go peaceably


Dennis Joseph Okeefe, 46, known to his associates as "Poppa," has the dubious honor of being arrested with the most meth ever seized by Metro Police--961 grams with a street value of $460,000.

The investigation began last June at a community meeting with a citizen's suspicion that someone was selling drugs out of a Church Street condo. The case stalled with little to go on, but picked up this month when a police department operative purchased two grams of crystal meth at the condo. Police found another ounce of the stuff when they obtained a warrant and searched the home. The owner of the condo snitched on Okeefe, who was said to live in various hotels around town, supplying drugs at nightclubs. On Friday, Okeefe sold an ounce of crystal meth to a police operative on Radisson Hotel property. Police arrested him in his room, but not before he flushed something down the toilet.

Okeefe dummied up and has refused to be interviewed by police. Found in his hotel room were the 961 grams of meth, 203 Ecstasy pills, 177 meth pills, 64 ounces--yes, a half gallon--of GHB, also known as the date rape drug.

Dennis is one of the most caring individuals i have ever known. Some people out there in the drug scene get what they deserve - Dennis is not some horrible drug dealer and it's a shame that a kind-hearted person like Dennis is shown in such a bad light. If the world was full of more people like Dennis it would be a peaceful place to live.

So you're saying that if everyone lived out of hotel rooms and carried/sold mass quantities of methamphetamine, the world would be a better place?

I hope the people who set him up get what they deserve. It's okay for them to buy, sell, &/or use drugs as long as they're police or they're working for/snitching to the police. That's not justice, protection, law, or order.That's hypocrisy.

If anyone thinks that Dennis Okeefe is a nice person they are absolutely insane and sadly have befallen dennis's psychotic mind! I knew him very personally a long time ago... what seems like an eternity. To find out that he is hopefully being locked up forever makes me so happy i want to drive down to the federal prison he'll be in and rub it in his face. This man has been doing this for at least 8 years, not to mention he's also done a lot worse thing to individuals than sell drugs. Dennis if you read this, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID TO LITTLE STEVEN! AND I FINALLY GET TO SIT BACK AND LAUGH ALL I WANT AT YOU, YOU SICK DISGUSTING THING!

I've known Dennis a long time.Sad thing is.When he was up,i meen legally .On top of the world ,he helped his family ,more than most deserved.He was very well off.Owned resturants,homes ,cars.All legally.Good father .Loving husband.When he got embezelled,no one even had the money they owed him.He still bounced back.He grew up on his own.He was trusted very much,by his parents.He was trully there "Golden Boy".I don't know what happened,but it is just to easy for everyone to sit back and criticize.If he would contact me ,i would try to help.Probably ,the people he loves,put him so high on a pedicle he don't want to fall.It's a long way down.He doesn't realize,there's some who'll love him rich or poor.I've been a gutter rat most of my life.i've been loved by mine as i am.He should have never been forced to always be seen as there savior.Dennis ,if you read this call me.You know who this is.We never wanted nothing from you but love.
J L & sis

Hi; I'm not sure if Dennis will ever read this but I just want to say coming from his daughter; He used to be on top of things paying childs support, but then it stopped and I never heard from him again! It hurts to know that he had money and didn't pay even a dime to my mother, but I know he got the money from something that I'm not so happy to say that my father got it from. But I believe that god will put him back on his feet and start again: its never to late! And for everyone that says bad things about dennis can shut it; because we all make mistakes some huge and some not so bad but we all do it. But even though I don't live near dennis see him or talk anymore, I love him because he is my father! <3

I knew Dennis years ago as well.He wasn't "Pappa"then,but tried to make some drug family with his friends.I was unfortunate enough to be one of those people.He had a sick, evil,perverted mind.He would give young guys drugs then try to have sex with them.He would bring guys home and watch them have sex and take pictures and insist one go jack off on a wall.He had no idea how to be a friend to anyone,he was only out to have complete control over young guys.He did encourage a couple to sell drugs for him,even back in the early days.He got just what he deserved for fucking with all those kids just out to have a good time.He's truly a sick fuck!
