Another ‘ice’ bust

Fayette County undercover drug agents and uniformed officers take down a suspect and seize two pounds of “ice” methamphetamine and two handguns in a June 14 drug bust at Banks Crossing shopping center in Fayetteville. The meth moved from Mexico to Gwinnett County to Clayton County and on to Fayette in a distribution network that has become all too familiar in metro Atlanta. Story — plus two other drug busts — on Page A3. Photo/Ben Nelms.

This kind of successful police work is the result of excellent planning and execution. Drug dealers - stay out of Fayette County!!

I may be wrong, but I am told that these "busts" come from outside the county.
The county is notified and asked to participate if they wish, and share in the cash.
I am not aware of any drug task force in the county who plans any raids or has country-wide connections as to who is importing drugs to the USA. Our task force helps make arrests! I have no complaint with that, except I would prefer we would go to Clayton County when invited and arrest those bums there.
We are not told these things so as to try and fool the perps into thinking Fayette does have that capability.

Who "told" you this "stuff"? You obviously watch too much TV and live in your own little world. I laugh everytime I see your posts because it amazes me that there are actually people like you out there... I mean "WAY OUT THERE"!

It's funny that you think our drug task force is "notified and asked if they want to participate"... It sounds to me like you are jealous. You must have tried at some point to get hired into law enforcement but all you can do is read about these things in the paper...

Please do yourself a favor sometime...get out of the house, take a walk, and try to live in the real world. Are you really under the impression that drug dealers don't live in our county? OR do you think all Fayette citizens are drug free? THINK AGAIN! Drug abuse doesn't start or stop at any county line.

As ones of your ilk do, you are fogging the issue to pretend you are a critical item in the federal and state investigations of drug importers. You just help them make the arrest, usually.
Just how on earth would Fayette County deputies get any information about a shipment from Mexico or South America that may be coming to Fayette by second and third hand distribution? Also, to my knowledge, Fayette has no moles in Clayton or Fulton.
I'm saying arrest these small-time guys somewhere else. Don't drag them here---when you are told who they are.

DOLLAR: "pretend you(drug task force) are a critical item in the federal and state investigations of drug importers."

Well, I could see your point IF there were only one or two very large busts every couple of years... but when our sheriff's drug task force exceeds $1+ MILLION in cash and hundreds of kilos of cocaine (not to mention marijuana and meth) EVERY YEAR, that's real- no pretending there!

But if you wish to believe that the drug task force doesn't do anything on their own, and they just sit around waiting for a call on the "bat phone", go ahead. However, that just makes you as stupid as the drug dealers our sheriff's dept. "drags" here...

There's no "fogging the issue" here... statistics speak for themselves!

Dollar, there are informants in local, state, and federal agencies. If you think that local agencies don't do anything you really are in your own world watching to much T.V. These men and women risk their lives every single day to keep our county and surrounding cities free of drugs and you make the mindless statement that you do. I agree with Fayetteresident there is no Fogging the issue Statistics speak for themselves. DOLLAR:You should NOT discuss REAL LIFE issues with a "T.V." mindset, it makes you look foolish.
