The arrest of suspects identified during Operation Augusta Ink continues. The last of the original 93 targeted, Larry Harris, was arrested by U.S. marshals in South Carolina on Wednesday and faces several federal drug charges.

Since the operation ended, investigators have continued to identify suspects who sold weapons and drugs to undercover officers. On Thursday, police charged Tanorius Hazel, 19, of the 3200 block of Burgundy Street, with theft by receiving stolen property, accusing him of selling a stolen gun to undercover officers. One state target, a 16-year-old juvenile, remains at large.

This is not a comprehensive list. It does not include the names of several juveniles arrested by police. Some of the suspects were apprehended earlier in the investigation and some in the months since its completion.

Send them all to prisons five states west!!

pofwe

No wonder S. Augusta is safer. Were no whites arrested?

mamak929

pofwe... how dumb can you be? It doesn't matter what color they are. It only matters that they are off the streets and hopefully they'll be telling on someone else to get them off the streets too. People of color are not the problem in society, the problem is ignorance bestowed in people like you. Get a grip!

Raindance

It is wishful thinking for us to have the slightest hope that pofwe will EVER get a grip, mamak929. His, like many others, hands are too preoccupied waving the red flag in front of the bulls of instigation and ignorance. It's surprising he doesn't succomb to upper limb injuries. He takes great pleasure in watching this comment section barrel down the "race"track.

CoastalDawg

You're right, it doesn't matter the race of these criminals; but how often do we hear the race card played when statistics are given decrying how race works against blacks in the numbers of arrests and convictions? Where are the liberal bleeding hearts in screaming that these people were set up? At least to this point the comments are in favor of getting these people off the streets and most of them are still young enough to be "redeemed" if they so choose. Those who don't will be doomed to spend most of their lives locked away or will die young. Kudos to the officers who planned and made this thing work.

Why

Looks like a list of Democrats! VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THE FALL!!!

From those arrested, how many were "those "illegal immigrants" and "Mexican gangs"? The names do not sound spanish at all, maybe they committed these crimes because the illegal immigrants stole their jobs. Those arrested were probably former dishwashers, waiters, landscapers, construction workers etc. but lost their job to the illegals, right? It is surprising how much crime is blamed on illegals, but the evidence proves different. It seems I see more crimes committed by those in the medical field than by illegals.

The only way to keep trash out of a given neighborhood is to form a strong neighborhood association. The Summervill neighborhood is a perfect example of success. Solidarity is the most important ingredient in a quality neighborhood. Strive to make things better instead of going along with the riff raff trash.

You can tell a persons skin color by their name. Thats an amazingly stupid power to have, since it does not work very well. i am sure there were some of south augustas finest white kids in the role call.

I would like to know how many of the people who were arrested in the stings were welfare and section 8 recipients ? How many of them had a great grand parent who were on the dole ? It appears that the federal government is responsible for enabling many of our youths to join gangs. If young people had to worry about scratching up money to be able to eat we would not be have such problems. Gangs did not form during the Great Depression.

Young people have the great educational opportunities now but instead they show their asses (literally and figuratively ) and disrupt others who want to learn. Bring back the chain gang. Cut welfare.

It took most families two or three generations to be able to transfer wealth. Young people need to learn to defer gratification. Most youth of today would be doing an extra good job if they simply passed a single family residence on to their off spring. If they had to work to be able to eat they would not be involved in gangs. Non profit give-a-ways are also responsible. There is too much sugar tit. Quit reproducing like rats.

Senate Bill 268 if passed would make section 8 and welfare recipients have mandatory drug tests. By: Senators Seabaugh of the 28th and Rogers of the 21st Help make this into law.

Good to see a few familiar names on the list. Good riddance that is. But I want to know WHO WERE THEY WORKING FOR!

GET REAL1

powfe..the whites are listed on a previous story...they broke into people's home..about 60 homes. they were so cold and heartless, the "mastermind" had the nerve to take a cab to rob innocent victims when his crappy car broke down. it seems as if his whole white family took part.

211lover

my gawd, that is one heck of a list, I can only imagine how dangerous this task must have been for the undercover officers actually working to fool these little wannabee thugs in diapers, great work thank you for making that part of the town safe. And being as they are mostly brought up on Federal charges they will be doing 80 % of their time, that means, they will be locked up for a seriously long time.. I wonder if federal prisons has enough diapers and pacifiers for these little babies? Oh well.. I love my freedom, too bad they all just lost theirs. GREAT JOB officers!!!!!

211lover

wow, going back and reading the charges, they all seem to be federal and looks like most of them carry a life sentence.lol I guess seriously long time is an understatement, looks like most of these children will be off the streets forever!! NICE!

211lover

go here, http://www.augustaga.gov/WebDocket/IconWebDocketISAPI.dll
look up some of these kids names, it is unreal that some of them were even free to begin with? Look up Jacob Plowright, this kid should be serving a life sentence already. I bet the police are frustrated about being slapped in the face by these local judges, now I see why they are being hit with federal court. NO MERCY, the end of the road finally for these menace's. I hope their parents are really proud of what they have unleashed on society. Someone said it earlier, this would make a GREAT movie.. I agree!!!

211lover

Q: Is there federal parole? How many days of "good time served" credit can you get in federal prison?

A: With the enactment of the United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines in 1987, parole was discontinued for all federal offenses committed after November 1, 1987. Instead of parole, federal offenders receive "good time." The maximum allowable good time is 54 days per year. This means that federal prisoners now serve 85 percent of their sentences.
