Link Agents sever Mexican linkwith 27 illegal alien suspects By Holly Hollman DAILY Staff Writer hhollman@decaturdaily.com · 340-2445 Federal and local authorities say they have dismantled a Decatur man's drug-trafficking organization, which supplied dealers in North Alabama and adjoining states. Twenty-seven of the 29 suspects in the operation are illegal aliens, authorities said. The operation allegedly brought drugs into the U.S. from Mexico. U.S. Attorney Alice Martin said Oscar Xicotencah Salomon, 34, also known as Javier Hernandez, Jose Delores and "Lo Lo," was allegedly the head of the organization that distributed cocaine, methamphetamine/ICE and marijuana. "The organization's structure has collapsed," Martin said Tuesday after a multi-jurisdictional task force raided homes in the area. For two years local and federal authorities have investigated Salomon's alleged activities, Martin said. On Tuesday morning, a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force comprised of Morgan County, Decatur, Huntsville and Madison County officers as well as agents from various federal agencies, executed 23 search warrants in the area. HIDTA is a federal program that provides federal resources to areas with serious drug-trafficking problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
