A 93-page, 83-count federal grand jury indictment unsealed Nov. 16 in U.S. District Court in Savannah lists the charges against 43 men and women for a multitude of offenses involving trafficking methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin. Federal, state and local agencies cooperated in the investigation dubbed Operation Vanilla Gorilla.
The indictment alleges that the narcotics-trafficking conspiracy began as early as 2015 and continued until the present, operating in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Emmanuel, Evans and Tattnall counties, in the Southern District of Georgia and elsewhere. Members of the conspiracy associated with the Ghost Face Gangsters, a violent, white supremacist street gang operated largely from inside prisons, and with other criminal street gangs to aid in the distribution of controlled substances, for protection, and to promote a climate of fear, the release said.
Operation Vanilla Gorilla represents one of the largest takedowns of Ghost Face Gangsters associates to date, and follows the March 2018 arrests of 23 gang members in the Northern District of Georgia on federal charges, and multiple arrests in October 2018 on state charges in Spalding County, Georgia.
Charges against the defendants in Operation Vanilla Gorilla include:
25 counts alleging the possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute;
18 counts alleging the unlawful distribution of controlled substances;
25 counts alleging prohibited persons (drug users and/or felons) in possession of firearms and/or ammunition;
One count alleging the unlawful possession of a prohibited weapon – a sawed-off rifle;
One count alleging the possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number;
10 counts alleging the possession of controlled substances, including methamphetamine, heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, and prescription pills; and,
2 counts alleging the possession of counterfeit currency.

Holy shite they just arrested half of America's white violent gang members that aren't already in prison!

I'm surprised they could even find Evans and Tattnall counties. They are literally in the middle of no damn where.

Sounds like they made a minor drug bust and are trying to church it up.

I guess they’d have gotten sued if they just called it Operation Brock Lesnar.

Pretty much.
They could probably get the same number and type of charges by busting your average rap band.

I live in Savannah. I am seeing stuff about this all over my FB. What’s funny is they are acting like the uncovered some huge conspiracy. Everyone knows where the drugs are. They should’ve done this years ago.

Why aren't fentanyl seizures in the news more?You don't hear many stories about them.
