Man on Federal Drug Trafficking Bond Arrested Again With Fentanyl and Cocaine in Atlanta
Atlanta, GA — A Georgia man who was already on federal pretrial release for drug trafficking charges in Pennsylvania is now facing new federal charges after authorities say he was caught distributing fentanyl and cocaine in metro Atlanta.
Federal prosecutors announced that 39-year-old Quincy Adam Rogers of Brookhaven appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge on March 5, 2026, on a criminal complaint charging him with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine.
According to investigators, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) were conducting surveillance at an Atlanta apartment complex on February 5, 2026, when they observed Rogers carrying a drawstring bag near a vehicle.
Authorities said agents later watched Rogers place a duffel bag into the trunk of another vehicle that had just arrived at the complex.
After both vehicles left the area, officers with the DeKalb County Police Department conducted a traffic stop on the second vehicle as it traveled on Interstate 85 in Braselton, Georgia.
During a search of the vehicle, officers discovered bags similar to those Rogers had been seen carrying.
Inside the bags, investigators found approximately 825 grams of suspected fentanyl powder and five kilograms of cocaine, along with a kilogram press, which is commonly used to form drugs into uniform bricks for distribution.
Authorities said the wholesale street value of the drugs was well over $100,000.
DEA agents later arrested Rogers.
At the time of the alleged offenses, Rogers was already on federal pretrial release for drug trafficking charges pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said Rogers’ alleged actions show a disregard for the law.
“Dealing drugs while on bond in another case demonstrates shocking disrespect for the law,” Hertzberg said. “Because of the lethal danger posed by fentanyl and cocaine, trafficking the amounts alleged in this case is punishable by life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.”
DEA Atlanta Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jae W. Chung said the case highlights the ongoing threat posed by fentanyl traffickers.
“This case underscores the persistent threat fentanyl traffickers pose,” Chung said. “Even while facing federal charges, this defendant continued to distribute a drug that kills Americans every day.”
Officials noted that the criminal complaint only contains allegations and that Rogers is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
The case is being investigated by the DEA, with assistance from the Brookhaven Police Department, Clayton County Police Department, DeKalb County Police Department, and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John DeGenova.
