During the search, agents found two guns, including an AR-15 rifle, under his bed. When they went to check a shed at the home, agents found 5.5 kilograms in a Huggies diaper box.
Jae W. Chung, a special agent in charge of DEA’s Atlanta division, said in a statement that the agency is committed to removing drugs off metro streets.
“Fentanyl is a poison that continues to claim lives, and combining it with firearms only increases the danger,” Chung said.
The DOJ says the following agencies helped with the case: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, Atlanta police, DeKalb County police and Sandy Springs police.
