DEA spokesman Garrison K. Courtney said those arrested were Eduardo Castro Torres, 43, of Michoacan, Mexico, who also is a resident of California; Julio Ruesga Barajas, of Santa Ana, Calif.; Ignacio Castro Torres, 39, of Buford, Ga.; and Enrique Medina, 25, of Madalena, Mexico. They were charged in a criminal complaint with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine.

According to the complaint, the DEA began an undercover investigation in March into a suspected large-scale Mexican drug ring in the Atlanta area, involving the importation and distribution of multikilogram quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine from Mexico.
