Week Long Drug Investigation Nets Drugs With Four Suspects Arrested

The operation was a weeks-long investigation that successfully dismantled a multi-level drug trafficking organization with direct ties to Mexico, Atlanta, and other States within the United States. Agents identified several local individuals working on behalf of the organization to smuggle and distribute narcotics across North Alabama.

During the law enforcement operation, Agents executed search warrants at specific rooms at the hotel after the location was identified as being the site of a narcotics transaction. During the execution of the search warrant and coordinated takedown, Agents made contact with four individuals:

Victor Hernandez, 36 of Austell, GA

Miguel Aguirre, 28 of Chicago, IL

Nicanor Garcia Garcia, 53 of Chicago, IL

Priscila Karime Narzagaray, 37 of Atlanta, GA.

During a search of the rooms, Agents located 24.7 pounds (10+ kilograms) of methamphetamine. Shortly after the search, Agents placed all four individuals under arrest for Trafficking in Methamphetamine with Garcia being additionally charged with Resisting Arrest.

The subjects were transported to the Morgan County Jail where they remain in lieu of $750,000.00. Three of the four subjects are being held pursuant to Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers.

The estimated street value of the methamphetamine recovered is approximately $1,124,000.00.

Arrests are public information. Any indication of an individual’s arrest does not imply they have been convicted of a crime. All subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
