Caught illegal immigrants distributing drugs in Gainesville, GA this time… and they tried to run down a cop to escape!

Via WDUN:

A two-week investigation by Hall County authorities leads to the seizure of two pounds of Methamphetamine and the arrest of three alleged illegal immigrants.

Fransisco Javier Perez-Campuzano 20, of Atlanta, Javier Palacios-Ortega, 37, of Roswell, and Miguel Hernandez, 24, of Gainesville were arrested during a drug bust in the 12-hundred block of Dawsonville Highway on January 30th.

Agents arrested the three during the delivery of the Methamphetamine.

Perez-Campuzano was in one vehicle while Hernandez and Palacias-Ortega were in another. As agents moved in Perez-Campuzano fled the scene nearly striking one of the agents with his vehicle. He led agents and marked patrol cars on a four mile chase until he wrecked on Dawsonville Highway.

Lt. Scott Ware with the Multi Agency Narcotics Squad says agents found the drugs February 9th in a hidden compartment of a car one of the men was driving, “The drugs had an estimated street value of $89 thousand six hundred.”

The three face charges for trafficking Meth and are being held in the Hall County Detention Center.

Perez-Campuzano also faces charges for Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer.
