🚔 The Gist: A decisive crackdown on Atlanta’s drug trade has led to a 16-year prison sentence for Quintilis Davenport, a key figure in methamphetamine and fentanyl distribution.
📜 The Details: The arrest occurred after Davenport attempted to sell drugs to an undercover DEA agent. His Union City apartment yielded a significant stash: 14 kilograms of methamphetamine, 1,500 fentanyl pills, nearly half a kilogram of fentanyl powder, and three firearms, including one with a 50-round drum magazine.
🔢 By The Numbers:
- 14 kilograms of methamphetamine.
- 1,500 fentanyl pills.
- Nearly half a kilogram of fentanyl powder.
- Three firearms, one reported stolen.
🔍 Why It Matters: The sentencing sends a strong message about the legal consequences of drug trafficking, particularly with substances as dangerous as fentanyl and methamphetamine.
👥 What You Can Do: The U.S. Attorney’s Office encourages the public to learn about the risks of drug abuse, directing them to resources like www.justthinktwice.gov for information and prevention.
