An FBI airliner made two trips to Little Rock, Arkansas, stirring up discussion and speculation at a local radio show and online about a possible connection to the Clinton Foundation. The FBI, however, stated the plane was there because of a major drug bust.
Shuttling Tactical Teams
An FBI spokesperson told The Epoch Times on Aug. 10, the plane was in Little Rock because of a major drug bust.
“Tactical teams were present in Little Rock this week to assist in the arrest of multiple defendants in an operation that dismantled a significant drug-trafficking organization,” she said in an email.
Seven people were arrested on the morning of Aug. 9, for allegedly selling cocaine, crack cocaine, and marijuana in the Little Rock area.
“Today’s operation took down a significant drug trafficking organization which has been operating for years in central Arkansas,” said Cody Hiland, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas in an Aug. 9 release. “These are dangerous, repeat offenders who should not be walking our streets and spreading poison in our community.”
The operation was a part an investigation by the GET Rock task force of local, state, and federal law enforcement. The task force was set up at the request of the state’s Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson “in response to the escalation in gang and gun violence in Little Rock,” the release stated.
“The operation today dismantled a group of criminals who destroy and tear at the fabric of our neighborhoods and cities,” stated Scott Reinhardt, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI Little Rock Field Office.
The defendants were charged under a sealed indictment with several crimes, including a conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine, crack cocaine, and marijuana; possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime; and possession of a firearm by a felon. The indictment was unsealed on Aug. 9.
