A known member of national drug distribution gang with a long rap sheet has been arrested on drug charges in Forsyth County, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO). James Anderson was arrested March 13 during a traffic stop, the sheriff’s office says.
HCSO NARRATIVE (EDITED FOR CLARITY & LENGTH):
“…around 10:45pm Mr. Anderson was driving in the south end of the county, when a deputy watched the car he was driving cross the double yellow line multiple times. He was also using a blue light as a tag light, which is not allowed. The deputy lit him up and Mr. Anderson pulled over, blocking the entrance of a subdivision…
When the deputy approached the car, he smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car. (When confronted about that) James laughed and said he smoked in his car earlier that day. When asked if anything other than marijuana would be found in the car and he said no.
The deputy searched the car and found 78.3 grams of crystal methamphetamine, over $2,400 in cash, and drug-related objects that included a digital scale, and packaging materials. James was also identified as a Ghostface Gangster (GFG) gang member with an extensive drug history. He was arrested for Trafficking Methamphetamine, Possession Drug Related Objects, Failure to Maintain Lane and Illegal use of blue lights.”
So, just exactly what is Ghostface Gangster?
The Anti-Defamation League describes it this way: Ghost Face Gangster is a large white supremacist prison gang based in Georgia. The gang originated in California in the 1970s, but the Georgia offshoot began in 1998. Members of the gang have broad criminal activity ranging from murder to narcotics to sexual assault.
The Justice Department defines it as “a criminal organization founded in the prison system,” and has sent 25 of its members with Georgia ties to prison in recent years, including a Hall County man.
