After a long day, we finally got all the loose cattle rounded up. We are so glad that there were not more serious crashes when the cows ran down I-285 in rush hour. Thanks everyone for being patient with us when we had to shut down the interstate and side streets during our "round-up".

This information came from the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding a drug dealer who was distributing pills that looked like legitimate prescription medication. The pills were actually laced with fentanyl and led to the death of an individual. “This counterfeit ‘pill peddler’ was a menace to society,” said Robert J. Murphy, the Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division. “Pills in the underground drug market are often diluted with dangerous and deadly substances, as was the case in this investigation. Purchasing pills on the street is synonymous to playing Russian roulette, as there’s no quality control or efficacy in the process. The success of this investigation was made possible because of the collaborative efforts between all law enforcement agencies involved and the U.S Attorney’s Office.” - Edward Culton has been arraigned on federal charges of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, aiding and abetting the distribution of fentanyl, and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, which resulted in the death of an individual. Culton was indicted by a federal grand jury on August 22, 2018. The success of this investigation was made possible because of the collaborative efforts between all law enforcement agencies involved and the U.S Attorney’s Office.
