30 Charged in New 333-Count Indictment in Richmond County Following Major Gang, Drug Trafficking Investigation.

Attorney General Chris Carr and Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree today announced the indictment of 30 people in Richmond County following a major multi-agency investigation into the distribution of illegal narcotics and other acts of violence that have occurred throughout the Central Savannah River Area. As asserted in the indictment, the defendants are associates of a hybrid criminal street gang known as Trap Money (TRVPMONEYY). As such, they are alleged to have conspired together to obtain money, firearms, controlled substances, and other property by engaging in a pattern of criminal activity, including Aggravated Assault on a Peace Officer, Armed Robbery, Theft, Trafficking in Fentanyl, Meth and Cocaine, and various weapons offenses. Known as Operation “No Loyalty,” this investigation began in February 2022 and resulted in the recovery of 7.5 kilograms of Fentanyl, 16 kilograms of Cocaine, 278 pounds of Marijuana, 2 pounds of Methamphetamine, 64 firearms, nine vehicles, two homes, and $492,733.

“If you shoot up homes, assault law enforcement officers, and traffic fentanyl in our communities, we will hold you accountable,” said Carr. “With our Gang Prosecution Unit, we’re fighting to dismantle the criminal street gangs that continue to terrorize entire neighborhoods and our most vulnerable Georgians. We will not waver when it comes to keeping people safe, enforcing the law, and ensuring those who engage in violent activity are vigorously pursued and aggressively prosecuted.”

The Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit presented evidence to a Richmond County Grand Jury, resulting in the indictment* of all 30 defendants on April 16, 2024. Created by Carr in July 2022, this statewide Unit is based in Atlanta, with regional, satellite prosecutors and investigators in Albany and Augusta.

“Operation ‘No Loyalty’ is the continuation of the commitment the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office has to the disruption, dismantling and prosecution of dangerous violent drug trafficking organizations and criminal street gangs in our community,” said Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree. “If individuals continue to make the conscious decision to participate, support or empower the activities of criminal street gangs in Richmond County, we will continue to work with our local, state, and federal partners to identify you, arrest you and prosecute you with the full weight of any and all criminal justice tools at our disposal.”

This investigation was led by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Gang Unit, Narcotics Division, and Criminal Intelligence Division. The following law enforcement agencies also assisted throughout the duration of Operation “No Loyalty”: Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit; Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Safe Streets Gang Task Force; Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI); Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; U.S. Postal Inspection Service; Georgia Department of Public Safety; Georgia Department of Corrections; Burke County Sheriff’s Office; Columbia County Sheriff’s Office; Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office; Wilkes County Sheriff’s Office; Grovetown Police Department; Augusta Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office; and United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Georgia.

“Augusta and all of Georgia is a safer place today now that this criminal activity has been disrupted,” said FBI Atlanta’s Supervisory Senior Resident Agent Matt Ploskunak. “We will continue to make cutting-edge resources and expertise available to support our state and local partners and help identify and dismantle these criminal organizations.”

“The GBI works diligently with our law enforcement partners to assist with not only holding drug distributors responsible for their crimes, but also to dismantle these drug organizations often tied to criminal street gangs,” said GBI Director Chris Hosey. “Operation ‘No Loyalty’ serves as an example of the importance of investigative collaboration.”

About the Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit
In 2022, with the support of Governor Brian Kemp and members of the General Assembly, Attorney General Chris Carr created Georgia’s first statewide Gang Prosecution Unit.

Since it began its historic work on July 1, 2022, the Gang Prosecution Unit has secured 32 convictions and indicted 135 people in Athens-Clarke, Barrow, Bryan, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Dougherty, Fulton, Gwinnett, Laurens, Muscogee, Richmond and Thomas counties.

The Gang Prosecution Unit is housed in the Attorney General’s Prosecution Division, which also includes Carr’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit and his Public Integrity and White Collar Crime Unit.

*Members of the public should keep in mind that indictments contain only allegations against the individual against whom the indictment is sought. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and it will be the government’s burden at trial to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the allegations contained in the indictment.
