GCSPD Chief Guzman said the following “Unfortunately the suspect arrested this morning is someone I have dealt with, for the same type of activity, when I was a young police officer. I hope this latest arrest is the one that convinces this man to turn his life around. To our community, rest assured that we will not rest until anyone selling poison in the City is taken off the streets.”
