GBI Busts Huge Cobb County Cocaine Deal

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says it has arrested three people attempting to complete a multi-million dollar cocaine transaction in Cobb County.

Javier Rodriguez-Buitrago of Dacula; Fernando Rodriguez of Gary, Indiana; and Jesus Ruben Rosillo of McAllen, Texas, were all arrested on June 25 and charged with offenses related to a drug deal they attempted to pull off at a motel in Marietta the day before, police told the Marietta Daily Journal.

Police said they found 100 kilograms of cocaine worth $3 million in a tractor-trailer operated by Rodriguez, who later admitted he knew the drugs were inside. Rosillo confessed to putting the drugs there, the MDJ learned from police.

Rodriguez-Buitrago has been charged with attempting or conspiring to violate the Georgia Controlled Substance Act; Rodriguez faces charges of trafficking more than 28 ounces of cocaine and attempting or conspiring to violate the Georgia Controlled Substance Act; Rosillo is being charged with felony cocaine trafficking, Cobb County jail records show.

The three men remain behind bars.
