A recent joint two-day law enforcement operation in Athens resulted in the arrests of six fentanyl and methamphetamine dealers, police say.
The alleged dealers are from Bartow, Madison, and Clarke counties.
“As a result of the operation, law enforcement seized seven firearms, approximately ten ounces of fentanyl, five ounces of methamphetamine, and a quantity of cocaine,” says Athens-Clarke County Police Lt. Shaun Barnett.
He says some of the fentanyl was pressed into counterfeit Oxycodone pills.
The Northeast Georgia Regional Drug Task Force, Georgia State Patrol, Madison County Sheriff’s Office, US Drug Enforcement Administration, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force joined ACCPD in the operation.
Barnett says the investigation is ongoing.
