Multi-State Narcotics Investigation Ends in Arrest of Two Brothers, Seizure of $173k in Drugs
COLUMBUS, GA / PHENIX CITY, AL – A sophisticated, eight-month investigation into a local drug trafficking organization reached a major breakthrough this past weekend. Collaborative efforts between the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) and the Russell County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) have resulted in the arrest of two brothers and the seizure of significant amounts of narcotics and illegal firearms across state lines.
The Final Raid
On Saturday, January 10, 2026, deputies executed a high-stakes search warrant in Russell County, Alabama. This operation targeted the activities of Jacob and Maurice Robinson, two brothers suspected of orchestrating a trafficking pipeline between Georgia and Alabama.
During the Saturday raid, authorities recovered a trafficking-sized haul of marijuana and a stolen firearm. Both men were taken into custody and are currently held at the Russell County Jail.
An Eight-Month Operation
The investigation began in early 2025, gaining significant momentum on May 1, 2025, when the MCSO Collaborative Intelligence Group raided a location in Muscogee County, Georgia. That initial search resulted in the seizure of over 12 pounds of marijuana and several vehicles.
While both brothers faced charges following the May incident, the collaborative task force continued to track the organization’s movements, leading to this weekend’s final sweep in Alabama.
