First Heroin, Now Cocaine?

NBC 4: More than two dozen people have been charged with operating a drug trafficking organization in the Columbus area. Operation Georgia Peach links Columbus with interstate drug trafficking… The indictment charges Maurice Williams with operating a continuing criminal enterprise. Authorities said they believe Williams is the top of the organization and that he could be in Atlanta. Officials said they are actively searching for him. Of 29 defendants, 21 people are charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine. As of Wednesday, 19 people were arrested. Anyone with information is asked to call 614-645-TIPS.
