“Operations like this one send a clear message: we will not tolerate those who choose to profit from poisoning our communities with fentanyl and other dangerous drugs,” said MDPS Commissioner Sean Tindell. “This arrest is a direct result of the strong partnerships between our state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies. When we work together and share resources, we are far more effective at dismantling criminal organizations and keeping deadly drugs off our streets.”
Martin said MBN was assisted in this investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Safe Street Task Force (SSTF), Pascagoula Police Department and the Coastal Narcotics Enforcement Team (CNET).
