Drug Trends GeorgiaDrug Situation: The state of Georgia is both a final destination point for drug shipments and a smuggling corridor for drugs transported along the East Coast. Extensive interstate highway, rail, and bus transportation networks, as well as international, regional, and private air and marine ports of entry serve the state. Moreover, Georgia is strategically located on the I-95 corridor between New York City and Miami, the key wholesale-level drug distribution centers on the East Coast and major drug importation hubs. In addition, Interstate Highways 10 and 20 run directly into Georgia from drug entry points along the Southwest Border and Gulf Coast. Also, the entire state, Atlanta in particular, has experienced phenomenal growth over the last several years with a corresponding increase in drug crime and violence. With Georgia bordering North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, Atlanta is the base for several major dealers who maintain trafficking cells in these states; especially Mexican-based traffickers who hide within legitimate Hispanic enclaves. Over the last decade, the population in the Division has soared 20 percent. According to the Pew Hispanic Center and the Brookings Institution, recent census figures show that Atlanta is number two in Latino immigration. Researchers label this phenomenon 'hypergrowth' which describes any city with at least a 300 percent increase in Latino population for the period studied. Atlanta's Latino population grew 995 percent since 1980, or 268,851. Other cities in Georgia experiencing tremendous growth in the Hispanic community include Dalton, Gainesville, Macon, Columbus, Savannah, and Augusta. Most significantly, within the past two years, the Atlanta Field Division has seen a change in the drug trafficking patterns in and around the Atlanta metropolitan area. Atlanta has experienced a noted increase in significant drug trafficking organizations moving into and/or setting up operations in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Intelligence currently indicates that Atlanta has become an important strategic point for drug trafficking organizations, especially the Mexicans, as it is the largest city in the South and has a nexus for all East/West and North/South travel. Cocaine seizures have increased dramatically as a result of the Mexican organizations moving into Atlanta.
The Atlanta Field Division Office recently concluded a three-year investigation that targeted the command and control structure of a Mexican- based poly-drug organization. On September 17, 2002, 27 suspected members of a major drug trafficking organization were indicted in the Northern District of Georgia for distribution and for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, marijuana, and/or methamphetamine. Arrest warrants were issued for those individuals named in the indictment. In a major culmination of the investigation, four Federal Search Warrants were executed in Cobb County Georgia on September 19, 2002. The arrest warrants issued pursuant to the indictments were executed as well. As a result of those warrants, 31 defendants were arrested and two handguns, seven vehicles, and $413,914 in cash were seized. DEA Atlanta conducted a series of enforcement activities throughout the lengthy investigation. One investigation yielded a total of 64 arrests, the seizures of 217 kilograms of cocaine, 40 pounds of methamphetamine, three pounds of ice (a potent form of methamphetamine), cash totaling $3,813,914, 2500 pounds of marijuana, five residences, 18 vehicles and nine handguns. Atlanta functioned as a primary distribution center for the contraband, which was subsequently shipped to other cities in the Southeast and beyond, reaching as far as Birmingham, Alabama, Grand Rapids, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During the most recent and final phase of the case, the focus was upon a local cell head and his distribution network in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The organization utilized tractor-trailers to smuggle large quantities of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine across the U.S./Mexico border. The primary source of supply for all of the drugs is an organization operating from the Reynoso, Altamirano and Guerrero areas of Mexico that based their distribution locations in metropolitan Atlanta.
Cocaine: Cocaine and crack cocaine continue to be among the most widely encountered drugs throughout Georgia. Bulk quantities of powder cocaine are usually transported into the state and then converted into crack by the local wholesaler or retailer. Primary source areas for cocaine are Texas and California. While traffickers utilize several transportation modes, prominent methods of smuggling are the use of private or rental vehicles, and of recent tractor-trailers, with increasingly sophisticated hidden compartments, travel routes, and countersurveillance techniques. Colombian cocaine traffickers use the Ports of Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah as cocaine importation points, and these areas remain major transshipment centers for cocaine destined for Atlanta, other East Coast drug markets, and Europe. During the past year, several organizations (Mexican and Dominican) have been identified which are responsible for bringing loads of 200 to 300 kilograms of cocaine to Atlanta for local consumption as well as transshipment to other parts of the region and East Coast cities.
Heroin: Although heroin trafficking has been relatively low and stable throughout most of Georgia, there are regions where heroin abuse appears to be climbing. The sources of supply reportedly are located in Chicago, New York, and the Southwest Boarder. On August 2, 2002, inspectors of the United States Customs Service seized 8.2 kilograms of heroin at Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport, which resulted in a controlled delivery to New York where $8,000 was seized and one violator arrested.
Methamphetamine: Methamphetamine continues to increase in popularity and has become more prevalent throughout Georgia, leading to a significant number of arrests and seizures throughout the state. This trend is particularly true in the Atlanta, Dalton, and Gainesville metropolitan areas. Especially alarming are indications that the number of clandestine methamphetamine labs in Georgia has increased drastically. The primary sources for the drug, however, are located in California, Mexico, and Texas where labs capable of producing multi-pound quantities exist. Methamphetamine is most often transported via tractor-trailers and vehicles with hidden compartments. However, package delivery services are also used to deliver the drug. Mexico-based trafficking organizations play a key role in both the manufacture of methamphetamine and transportation of the drug into the state of Georgia, often controlling all facets of traffic from production to retail distribution.
Club Drugs: The most popular Club Drugs abused in Georgia are MDMA and GHB. Atlanta is often a transit city for Ecstasy couriers from Europe to other U.S. cities. Ecstasy is readily available in Atlanta’s nightclubs; however, “Rave” parties and concerts targeting a younger population are minimal.
Marijuana: Marijuana, the most commonly abused drug in Georgia, is readily available throughout the state. Texas and Arizona are the usual sources of marijuana that is imported from Mexico and ultimately distributed in Georgia. The primary wholesale suppliers of marijuana are Mexican nationals. In addition to the importation of marijuana from sources outside the region, local outdoor cannabis cultivation sites are increasing due to normally ideal growing conditions in the regions. Because of DEA's eradication program, and the recent drought, some dealers have resorted to indoor cultivation of marijuana.
Other Drugs: : Recent reports indicate an increase in the availability of LSD, GHB/GBL, and Ecstasy (MDMA) among Caucasian traffickers/users, aged 18 to 25. LSD is usually encountered at school settings and is imported to this area from the West Coast via U.S. Postal Service packages or commercial express mail. There has been an increase in the availability of ICE, in the Atlanta metropolitan area along with locally produced methamphetamine. These drugs are produced on clandestine laboratories located within the state. Diverted pharmaceutical controlled substances are widely available with Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Dilaudid (hydromorphone), Demerol (meperidine), and Percodan (oxucodone) being the most soft after.
