COBB COUNTY, Ga. — More than 280 pounds of meth, over four pounds of fentanyl, and guns are off the streets after a multi-county drug bust.
The DEA said three alleged drug traffickers are now facing federal charges, including one who lives in Cobb County.
Agents say they found meth in the suspect’s car during a traffic stop and found more scattered throughout his home and backyard which is located near a high school.
Christian Garcia-Esparza was arrested and charged.

Investigators say DEA agents seized 7,000 grams of meth in a home the day before the multi-county drug bust.
Anthony Williams said he noticed a line of unmarked cars up and down his street in Mableton.
“I did not know it was a DEA bust,” Williams told Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell. “Glad that they got rid of it in the neighborhood.”
According to the warrant, investigators say DEA agents found 7,000 grams of meth in a bedroom.
“That’s very alarming that amount of drugs is being trafficked right under my nose,” Williams said. “I watch my surroundings, but this one definitely slipped away from me.”
Jacob Juan Garcia-Flores has been charged with trafficking meth.
