In the largest heroin bust Georgia’s has ever seen, DEA officials seized a massive amount of drugs this week in Atlanta. Authorities confiscated 170 kilograms of heroin, along with cocaine, marijuana, 41 guns and more than a million dollars in cash.
The estimated street value of the drugs was around $8.5 million.
Earlier this week, agents also announced the arrest of 46-year-old Antonio DeShawn Daniels, also known as “Freckleface Shawn.” He’s since been indicted on federal charges.
According to officials, Daniels was one of the cartel’s top suppliers.
“This investigation has ties all the way up to the highest cartel activities in Mexico, and Mr. Daniels is a part of that. Due to COVID, a lot of people who are willing to do criminal activities think that police are not out there. This is a perfect example that our everyday heroes and law enforcement agencies have been out there every single day, despite the dangers, to enforce the law in keeping these poisonous and dangerous materials from our streets.” – Byung J. “Bjay” Pak, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia
Officials believe his arrest will affect drug trafficking in the area for years.
More details, here. ONE MILLION in cash at the perp’s home!

I am afraid that old Freckleface won’t be around that long.
“is this some kind of bust?”
“Well it’s very impressive yes but that’s not what we’re here for”
Would be interesting to see if local EBT purchases go up in response to increased withdrawal conditions
170 kilograms is 170,000 grams ... if the stuff is pure, then it would sell retail for about $900/gm which would be over $150 million on the street, not $8.5 million ... something isn’t adding up here ...

"What knockers!"
"Thank you very much, Herr Doktor"
“ONE MILLION in cash at the perp’s home!”
People are starting to distrust banks again.

Hurry hurry....kammy and da fox turn him back out on the street.....he was just trying to feed his chillen....just an unlicensed pharmacist....
His replacement is already trained and ready-to-go. The cartel doesn’t waste any time with that kind of money at stake.
Probably tip of the iceberg of the amount that doesn’t get caught.
Yup.
Notice that you never see big drug/cash/weapons busts in the big Progressive shithole cities .... why, because the cities are in on the deals.
is it wrong to assume “antonio” is a person that matters?
there go da neighborhood.
Put up new signs,, ‘Now Under New Management’
