Twenty-one alleged drug dealers have been arrested as part of 'Operation Shut Down Corner'.
The operation involved more than 150 agents from various agencies and focused on Hamilton Park, a North Dallas neighborhood that has long been plagued by crime driven by a violent gang known as the 'Hamilton Park Posse'.
During the investigation, DEA agents and their law enforcement partners seized 37 guns, 220 lbs of drugs (including cocaine, fentanyl-laced pills, methamphetamine, and marijuana), and $420,000 in assets (including U.S. currency, vehicles, and jewelry).
Many of the defendants arrested, have extensive criminal histories, and have faced charges including aggravated assault, battery, robbery, theft, forgery, drug possession, weapon possession, and terroristic threats.
If convicted, some defendants face maximums of up to 40 years in federal prison.
