GBI: Rapper tossed $250K in meth off balcony of Atlanta high-rise
ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - A self-proclaimed Alabama rapper and sports agent has been arrested after police say he threw $250,000 worth of methamphetamine off an apartment balcony during a raid in Atlanta.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said its Gang Task Force, the West Metro Regional Drug Enforcement Office, and Atlanta Police Department APEX Unit arrested 37-year-old Kelvin James Dark, who goes by the monikers "K Digga" and "Mr. Alabama," on July 10 during the execution of a search warrant.
According to the GBI, officers were searching the Atlanta home while investigating a ring smuggling contraband on domestic and international flights.
That's when they say Dark threw the drugs out of the high-rise window. Atlanta police later found the 5 kilograms of meth on a nearby street.
Dark was charged with trafficking methamphetamine and marijuana and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
GBI agents also recovered two semi-automatic rifles, a handgun, more than 13 pounds of marijuana, and cash.
Agents also arrested 33-year-old Atlanta resident Tiffany Peterson. She was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, trafficking marijuana, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Authorities said they are anticipating additional arrests in the case.
