DEA agents arrested nearly 300 people this week — seizing some 600 pounds of illicit drugs, more than 35 weapons, and roughly $3.3M in assets — as part of a sweeping “surge operation” across Florida, agency officials said.
“We’re out there and we’re trying to get ahead of this problem, trying to reduce fatalities in our communities,” said Justin Miller, chief intelligence agent in the DEA’s Miami office.
In the city of Ormond Beach, meanwhile, the DEA nabbed a pharmacist who had been arrested once before, stripped of her license, and slated for trial — but she reopened her pharmacy and started selling again. It was just one part of a bust that saw agents carry out some 50 search warrants on pharmacies and 25 interviews with physicians, as well as a handful of USPS and FedEx parcel interdictions.
