DOUGLAS, Georgia Four dozen people have been indicted in a Coffee County drug trafficking operation that targeted gang members. Three of them are correctional officers.
According to a news release, the focus of Operation Sandy Bottom was the Sand Ridge neighborhood in Douglas.
The indictment alleges that the ring, controlled by part of the Gangster Disciples street gang, controlled meth trafficking in South Georgia and distributed contraband in prisons.
The news release says the investigation started back in 2018 when the Coffee County Drug Unit responded to complaints of increased violence in the Sand Ridge neighborhood. The unit then asked the FBI and Coastal Georgia Violent Task Gang Task Force for help.
