Here are the top five stories in Loganville-Grayson today:

1. The Atlanta DEA Special Response Team (SRT) recently confiscated about 800 pounds of a meth-and-foam mix from a Mexican cartel's methamphetamine conversion lab at a house in Gwinnett County. DEA special agent Robert Murphy said the DEA is "down several hundred agents" and it's hard to find the right people to take down the cartels. (WSB Atlanta)
2. Gwinnett County's three congressional representatives reacted to the news that the U.S. Supreme Court had overturned the Roe v. Wade decision. Democrat U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson said, "This is the most damnable Supreme Court decision in my lifetime." Democrat U.S. Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux also objected to the decision and predicted, "women will die because of this decision." Republican U.S. Rep. Jody Hice said, "We could not be more thrilled that the protection of life is being upheld and Roe has been overturned." (Gwinnett Daily Post)
3. Yesterday, Jun. 26, Max Clendenin, a 3-year-old girl, was found after disappearing from her father's Gwinnett yard. According to police, Ma was playing with her father at 3:20 p.m. on Saturday, Jun. 25, he stepped inside for a moment and when he came back out Max was gone.
