1 dealer brought 3 small children, left them in car during deal

Two men were arrested by undercover drug agents for selling crack cocaine at two different convenience stores Tuesday in Fayette County, officials said.

One of the accused drug dealers brought his three small children and left them in his vehicle while he sold an undercover agent 2 grams of crack cocaine for $200, deputies said. That man, Terrence Tientra Murray, 24, of Morrow, is charged with selling cocaine and reckless conduct, deputies said.

In a separate drug transaction, Wilbur Forts III, 24, of Decatur was arrested after selling an undercover agent approximately 4 grams of crack cocaine for $200, officials said. He was also found with 1.5 grams of marijuana, deputies said.

Forts was charged with selling cocaine and possession of marijuana, deputies said.

Also arrested with Forts was Kevin Edward White, 43, of Decatur, who drove Forts to the store; he was charged with driving with a suspended license, deputies said.

Both operations were conducted by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office Tactical Narcotics Team, assisted by uniformed personnel from the sheriff's office and the Fayetteville Police Department.

The narcotics team is operated by the sheriff's office but also has members of the Tyrone and Fayetteville police departments. Peachtree City officials are also working on assigning a member to the narcotics team.

Wow... I moved here from Massachusetts a while ago.. My sisters and parents also moved down here. There is so much crime it is ridiculous! I feel like there are so many people who just don't care, but some people that are decent... It seems that the uncaring ones outshine the good. How sad. I was hoping that Fayette county was one of the best. Wow...

Outstanding police work by county law enforcement. Think - who would have bought the crack if the undercover agents hadn't been there. Why do 'crack' dealers come to Fayette County? Certainly not to sell to undercover officers. We should be concerned about 'who' is buying this stuff!

My suggestion for this father of the year is to make sure he is sterilized while he is in the slammer. I don't want to support any more of his children while he is serving time. not to mention the sad life thats is ahead for his 3 (or more ) children.

2 or 4 grams for $200. Looks like Terrence is the better business man, unless Wilbur was having a sale.

I wonder what gas stations they were at.

Well I could be wrong but the other night there was a lot of Police activity at the BP, 54 & Grady. It looked like they had two hooked up. Very close to home!
