A man of many names was arrested and will be charged with conspiracy to traffic and distribute methamphetamine and marijuana.

According to Gordon County Sheriff Mitch Ralston:

After a month of investigation, the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit (MCU) and detectives executed a search warrant at 211 Gordon Avenue, Calhoun, and detectives arrested José Gomez, a.k.a José Estrada, a.k.a. Pedro, 32, of the Gordon Avenue residence.

According to the sheriff, during the month-long investigation, “sheriff’s detectives purchased several ounces of methamphetamine, which they believe to have originated in Mexico.”

The MCU detectives confiscated several pounds of marijuana and $6,000 in cash after the execution of the search warrant.

The report states that Gomez will be charged with two counts of trafficking in methamphetamine, sale/distribution of methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, sale/distribution of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute marijuana and conspiracy to traffic and distribute methamphetamine and marijuana.

Gomez is being held in the Gordon County Jail pending bond proceedings.

IAM GLAD TO SEE OUR DRUG TAK FORCE ARE AIMING AT THE BIG DEALERS, GET THEM OUT OF OUR COUNTY AND THE SMALL TIMERS WILL NOT HAVE A SOURCE..IT USE TO ANOY ME AT HOW MANY SMALL BUST WERE MADE AND BUT THEY NEVER CAUGHT THE BIG GUY THEY WERE BUYING IT FROM. I KNOW REVENUE HASALOT TODO WITH IT, BUT LETS TARGET THE BIG DEALERS, FOLLOW THE LITTLE GUYS TILL WE GET THE BIG GUYS...THEN THE SMALL TIMERS DO NOT HAVE A SOURCE..I THINK DRUG TESTING FOR DRUG PROBATION IS SUCH A FLUKE.. THERE ARE SO MANY CLEANSERS OUT THERE NOW TO HELP U PASS AND USUALLY THE PERSON ON PROBAION KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE TESTED , WHEN THEY VISIT THERE PROBATION OFFICER.. I THINK IF IT WAS A SYSTEM OF SURPRISE , AT HERE HOME IN THE CAR ON THE ROAD IT WOULD KEEP ALOT MORE PEOPLE CLEAN, THEM NOT KNOWING WHEN THEY WILL BE TESTED..CALL EM ON PHONE GIVE THEM 45 MINUTES BE IN OFFICE..ECT THE LONGER THEY STAY CLEAN THE BETTER CHANCE OF REHABILITATION....

The article did not specify (very carefully, I might add) whether he is illegal. But I have my suspicions.

Hmmm...I wonder if he had several actual ID cards with these names on them, and if so, where he got them.
