Brookhaven Man Faces Federal Charges for Trafficking Fentanyl and Cocaine in Metro Atlanta

ATLANTA - Quincy Adam Rogers, who was on pretrial release for federal drug trafficking charges in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, faces new federal charges related to his alleged distribution of fentanyl and cocaine in Atlanta.

"Dealing drugs while on bond in another case demonstrates shocking disrespect for the law," said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. "Rogers's alleged conduct evinces complete disregard for the consequences of his actions, which are severe. Because of the lethal danger posed by fentanyl and cocaine, trafficking the amounts alleged in this case is punishable by life imprisonment without the possibility of parole."

"This case underscores the persistent threat fentanyl traffickers pose," said Jae W. Chung, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division. "Even while facing federal charges, this defendant continued to distribute a drug that kills Americans every day. The DEA's Fentanyl-Free America Initiative is focused on ensuring that those who continue to endanger lives, especially repeat offenders, face swift and serious consequences."

According to U.S. Attorney Hertzberg and the criminal complaint filed in federal court: Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration were conducting surveillance at an apartment complex in Atlanta on February 5, 2026. The agents observed Quincy Adam Rogers with a drawstring bag near a vehicle. Later, agents saw Rogers place a duffle bag in the trunk of a different vehicle that had just arrived. After both vehicles left the complex, DeKalb County Police Department (DCPD) stopped the second vehicle as it was traveling on Interstate 85 in Braselton, Georgia.

While searching that vehicle, officers found bags like those that Rogers had been carrying. In the bags, DCPD Officers discovered approximately 825 grams of suspected fentanyl powder and five kilograms of cocaine, along with a kilogram press. A kilogram press is used to form drugs into uniform bricks for transportation and distribution. The wholesale street value of the seized drugs was well over $100,000. DEA agents subsequently arrested Rogers.

At the time of the drug seizures, Rogers was on federal pretrial release for drug trafficking charges pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Quincy Adam Rogers, 39 of Brookhaven, Georgia, appeared before a U.S. Magistrate Judge on March 5, 2026, on a criminal complaint that charged him with possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine.

Members of the public are reminded that the criminal complaint only contains charges. The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges, and it will be the government's burden to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

This case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, with valuable assistance provided by the Brookhaven Police Department, Clayton County Police Department, DeKalb County Police Department, and Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Assistant U.S. Attorney John DeGenova is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
