Domestic dispute call leads to big drug bust
Officers investigating an apparent domestic disturbance ended up making a $5.1 million drug bust, Gwinnett police said Tuesday.
A "concerned citizen" called police about 5:46 p.m. on Monday to report that a woman was screaming inside a Lawrenceville home and police were needed to check on her, said Gwinnett police Cpl. Darren Moloney.
Police arrived at the home on Primrose View Circle and were allowed inside by a man. "Several items of drug paraphernalia were observed in plain view," Moloney said. Officers ordered the home locked down and obtained a search warrant.
The county's Drug Task Force then seized 51,306 ounces of methamphetamine worth an estimated $5.1 million and marijuana worth an estimated $85,600.
Jorge Moreno Marciel, 28, of Lawrenceville, was arrested and charged with drug trafficking.
