“Law enforcement officials celebrated strides in curbing Mexican-made methamphetamine and other drugs they say have been flooding North Florida for years.”
“He was connected to a drug trafficker in Atlanta with direct ties to Mexican cartels,” he said.
“In all, 14 defendants comprised of dealers, couriers and money launderers were indicted on federal charges as part of Operation Crystal Shield. The group was responsible for 20 to 25 kilos a week coming into North Florida, Shea said.”

“Shea warned of a potential flood of drugs once borders reopen because much of what has been produced during the coronavirus pandemic has been stockpiled and not made its way into the U.S.”
