A months-long drug trafficking probe across metro Atlanta ended with flashing blue lights in Conyers, where officers say a May 8 search turned up roughly 24 pounds of suspected marijuana, 41 grams of suspected Xanax and six firearms. Investigators called it a multi-agency operation and say the work is not over yet.
According to a press release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the arrests capped more than four months of digging that led agents to a Conyers residence. The GBI said six people were taken into custody: Deshawn Davis, 29, of Conyers; Kahlid Mathis, 26, of Eatonton; Cale Little, 32, of Eatonton; Kentavious Walker, 29, of Dunwoody; Ratrez Brown, 23, of Eatonton; and Dakhyah Bradley, 24, of Dayton, Ohio.
As reported by 95.5 WSB, the operation pulled in units from the Georgia State Patrol and the Conyers Police Department alongside GBI teams. That coverage noted that investigators seized the suspected marijuana, Xanax and six guns during the May 8 search and that their work stretched across parts of metro Atlanta.
Charges and next steps
The GBI says the suspects face a slate of drug and weapons counts, including trafficking marijuana, possession with intent to distribute a Schedule IV controlled substance, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and theft by receiving a stolen firearm. The agency said the investigation remains active, additional charges are on the table and anyone with information can contact the GBI tip line at 1-800-597-TIPS.
Part of a wider crackdown
State and local agencies across north Georgia have been leaning hard on large, coordinated operations that target distribution networks, a trend highlighted by WSB-TV. That reporting detailed earlier cases built around major fentanyl and meth busts and racketeering-style charges, underscoring how aggressively prosecutors are going after alleged suppliers.
The investigation in Conyers is one more piece of that broader push. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said additional arrests or charges are possible as the case moves forward, and local court records will show the next steps as prosecutors formalize filings.
