Key takeaways
  • Multi-agency operation arrested 22 people and seized 88 grams of fentanyl, 4.5 kilograms of methamphetamine, firearms, and $11,807.
  • Law enforcement partnered across agencies to clear 55 warrants and continue efforts reducing violent crime and drug activity.

A large-scale, multi-agency crime suppression effort led by the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in 22 arrests, dozens of cleared warrants, and the seizure of significant amounts of illegal drugs, firearms, and cash.

The initiative, known as “Operation Safe Streets,” included partnerships with the Georgia State Patrol, Russell County Sheriff’s Office, Phenix City Police Department, and Coweta County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities focused on wanted fugitives and narcotics investigations in Muscogee and Russell counties.

Officials emphasized their ongoing mission, stating: “We won’t stop until the criminals do.”
