Four Million Dollar Drug Bust Thanks to New Drug Unit

Over a hundred pounds of cocaine is now in the hands of law enforcement. The four million dollar bust landed Sergio Montesreal, David Rodriguez, and Raymundo Dealmonte in the slammer with no bond. The people of Marion County have "HIDTA", the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area unit to thank.

HIDTA started in April of 2003. A group of nine undercover investigators from local, state, and federal agencies work together to keep the big boys of the drug world off the streets.

"The major drug traffic organizations are not the people seen in neighborhood selling drugs on the street corner, they're the people who supply those people," says Captain Eddie Wright of the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
