Quincy Adam Rogers, a resident of Brookhaven, Georgia, is facing new federal charges for allegedly distributing fentanyl and cocaine in the Atlanta area while on pretrial release for separate drug trafficking charges in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“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 information provided by U.S. Attorney Hertzberg and a criminal complaint filed in federal court, Drug Enforcement Administration agents observed Rogers at an Atlanta apartment complex on February 5, 2026. He was seen with bags near vehicles at the location. After he placed a duffle bag into one vehicle's trunk and both cars left the scene, DeKalb County Police stopped one vehicle on Interstate 85 in Braselton.
A search of that vehicle led officers to discover approximately 825 grams of suspected fentanyl powder and five kilograms of cocaine inside bags similar to those Rogers had carried earlier. A kilogram press was also found with the drugs—an item commonly used to shape drugs into uniform bricks for easier transport and distribution. The wholesale value of these drugs exceeded $100,000. DEA agents later arrested Rogers.
At the time these events took place, Rogers was already under federal pretrial release due to pending drug trafficking charges in Pennsylvania.
Rogers appeared before a U.S. Magistrate Judge on March 5, 2026, charged with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine.
Authorities emphasized that these are only allegations at this stage; Rogers is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt during trial proceedings.
The investigation has been conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration with assistance from local agencies including 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 this case as part of Operation Take Back America—a national effort involving resources from across the Department of Justice aimed at countering illegal immigration and dismantling criminal organizations threatening communities nationwide.
