Re: Undercover Narcotics Investigation

On Thursday, June 10, 2021, Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree is pleased to
announce the arrests of several drug trafficking co-conspirators involved in the Larry Wright’s
Drug Trafficking Organization. Larry Wright and several of his associates were targeted in this
investigation. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division and the Federal Bureau
