Ten Defendants Tied to Armed Drug Trafficking Organization in Albany

ALBANY, Ga. – Ten defendants connected to an armed drug trafficking organization in southwest Georgia are facing federal consequences after a multi-agency investigation that led to the seizure of 30 firearms—including two machineguns—along with methamphetamine and fentanyl.

“This case amplifies the kinds of efforts across the Middle District of Georgia to get guns and drugs off our streets and make the communities we serve safer for everyone,” said U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes. “Our office is working alongside law enforcement at every level to identify the most egregious offenders to hold them accountable at the federal level.”

According to court records, the investigation began in 2023, targeting drug and gun trafficking in Albany and surrounding areas. Over six months, agents conducted controlled purchases of methamphetamine and firearms from several of the defendants. Search warrants later yielded additional quantities of narcotics—including meth, fentanyl, cocaine, and oxycodone—along with 28 firearms and two machineguns.
