The details:

— Authorities conducted surveillance and wiretapping of the alleged drug-trafficking network from February of 2016 through July 2017.

— Eleven individuals have been indicted, and charges vary from violation of the Drug Trafficking Enterprise Act to unlawful distribution of cocaine.

— “One of the worst parts of my job as Attorney General is the breadth of my knowledge and exposure to violent crime occurring throughout our state—much of which is related to drugs,” Attorney General Marshall said in a statement, noting that perhaps many would be surprised to know Alabama has the seventh-highest violent crime rate in the nation.

— “Criminals in Selma and the surrounding areas should be on notice: we will not tolerate this menace to our citizens.”

— Marshall also celebrated Alabama’s three new U.S. attorneys who were involved in the investigation.

— “It is clear to me already that we are of like minds and have the potential to do a great deal to improve public safety by working together.”

— “The productive cooperation between every level of law enforcement – state, federal and local – has made this town safer and we want to continue to foster this, not only in Selma, but around our state.”

— The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Selma Police Department, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Alabama were all involved in the investigation.
