| Suspicious Instrument / Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit Activation |
(Tuesday, March 9th, 2010@ approximately 3:35 PM) At approximately 3:35 PM a Gwinnett County Police Officer, on routine patrol, observed a traffic violation and initiated a stop of a 1995 green colored Saturn sedan. During the course of his subsequent interaction with the driver, the lone occupant of this vehicle, the officer became wary of the individual. While interacting with him, the officer observed a suspicious looking object within the vehicle. When questioned about the nature of the device, the driver admitted to having possessed devices of an explosive nature in the past. However, he denied this device was destructive in nature. Due to the character of the officer’s suspicions and the appearance of the device, the driver was detained and the area cordoned off. Out of an abundance of caution, the Police Department’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit (EOD) was notified. Members of this unit determined the description of the device and the circumstances surrounding its discovery warranted further investigation. The EOD Unit did respond to the scene. Utilizing a robot the EOD Unit did remotely examine and subsequently recover the device from within the vehicle. The device was evaluated and found to pose no immediate threat to the safety of personnel. Samples from the device were retained for analysis and further investigation.
The driver of the vehicle was arrested for driving without a license and violation of Georgia’s open container law. Investigation into this incident continues in an effort to determine if the suspect had any specific intent or purpose in possessing an item potentially resembling an improvised explosive device. There are no indications that the suspect had any terroristic intent or purpose. At this time the suspect’s name is being withheld.

| Prostitution Arrests |
(Monday, March 1st, 2010) Gwinnett County Vice Investigators conducted an undercover operation at a local business offering massage services. This operation resulted in the arrest of 3 individuals for violations of State Law and Gwinnett County Ordinances. This investigation occurred at The “Lucky Good Hands Massage” parlor, located within the Mall of Georgia, an unincorporated area of Gwinnett County, near Buford.
Preliminary investigation has found that an undercover investigator was solicited for an act of prostitution following a massage. Gwinnett County Police Investigators routinely conduct compliance checks within businesses offering massage services. These checks are done to ensure that businesses providing these types of service offer only legal services, in compliance with Georgia State Law and Gwinnett County Ordinance. This particular investigation was begun when investigators received an anonymous tip that acts of prostitution were occurring with the business. Undercover investigators initially entered the business approximately two weeks prior to these arrests. At that time they found the business practices and personnel compliant with applicable law and ordinance. As is routine, investigators revisited the business to verify their original findings. During this second visit, the undercover investigator was solicited for an act of prostitution. Subsequently, two subjects were arrested and another was given citations and released.
Forty year-old Yingjiu Liu of Doraville was arrested for “Masturbation for Hire” in violation of State Law and “Massage without Permit” in violation of Gwinnett County Ordinance. Forty-one year old Shiying Tian of Buford was arrested for “Giving a False Name” in violation of State Law and “Massage without Permit” in violation of Gwinnett County Ordinance. Forty-one year old Xiuhai Xue was cited for “Manager not on Duty” and “Records not Maintained,” both in violation of Gwinnett County Ordinance.

| Sexual Offender Verification Sweep |
(Thursday, February 25th, 2010) Beginning at approximately 6:00 PM, the Gwinnett County Police Department, in conjunction with the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, Gwinnett County Probation, Gwinnett County Parole and the Cities of Lawrenceville, Duluth, Lilburn and Norcross Police Departments, initiated a Sexual Offender Verification Sweep across Gwinnett County. The “sweep” was a conscious and proactive effort by Gwinnett County Law Enforcement and was designed to help make Gwinnett County a safer place by ensuring that Sexual Offenders within the Gwinnett Community are honoring the obligations placed upon them by the judicial system.
The operation consisted of 106 local law enforcement officials, 64 being from the Gwinnett County Police Department. It was begun over three months ago when a member of the Gwinnett County Police Department conceptualized an operation designed to ensure that convicted sexual offenders were adhering to the restrictions imposed upon them by the courts and to further enhance proactive law enforcement in our communities. This operation involved most of the specialized units within the Gwinnett County Police Department, including: the Crime Suppression Unit, the Gangs Unit, the DUI Task Force, Detectives from the Special Victims’ Unit and the Electronic and Financial Crimes Unit as well as precinct level Community Response Teams. To further facilitate this effort, the named agencies joined the police department, combining their resources to make this operation a success.
The operation covered all of Gwinnett County and was three-fold. Primarily, it was designed to physically verify the information provided by approximately 350 registered sexual offenders living in Gwinnett County. Teams of law enforcement officers were each assigned a specific list of registered offenders to locate and verify. Additionally, the operation included added initiatives designed to locate any transient and locally unregistered sexual offenders, by comparing the national register with local databases and the registers of area extended stay hotels. Lastly, the operation utilized the resources of probation and parole officers combined with detectives to exhaustively check into the activities of registered sexual offenders actively on probation or parole.
The operation was successfully concluded shortly after midnight on Friday, February 26th. One of the primary goals underpinning this initiative was to convey, to all registered sexual offenders living within Gwinnett County, that law enforcement will check and verify the information they are required to provide. Preliminary reports indicate that officers took 13 persons into custody, obtaining 9 Felony Arrest Warrants and 11 Misdemeanor Arrest Warrants. They also located 2 stolen vehicles. One unregistered sexual offender was identified and subsequently arrested. In all, the information provided by 175 offenders was verified. Those who were not located last night can certainly expect to receive a follow-up visit.
Chief of Police Charles Walters stated, “It is clear, concentrating our resources to combat crime has proven and positive effects. This Department continues its ongoing commitment to the citizens of Gwinnett County by introducing innovative and creative ways to further our community policing efforts.”

| Drug Seizure and Arrest |
(Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 @ approximately 10:15 PM) Officers assigned to the Gwinnett County Police Crime Suppression Unit investigated a complaint of crack cocaine trafficking at a local hotel. This investigation resulted in an arrest of a wanted individual for trafficking cocaine, illegal possession of a significant amount of Oxycodone (Oxycontin) and giving a false name. The investigation and subsequent arrest occurred at 5171 Brookhollow Parkway in the city of Norcross.
On February 17th, officers from the Crime Suppression Unit, patrolling in the unincorporated areas of Norcross, received information that a person was selling crack cocaine in and around an area hotel / motel. Officers investigated that information and began to monitor the area around the identified hotel. After observing some irregular activities, officers approached and began to speak with a person who identified himself as “Julian Pierce.” After a brief interview with “Pierce,” officers attempted to confirm his identity. However, they were unable to verify the information he had provided. Further scrutiny found that Pierce had lied to the officers about his identity. Through additional investigation he was positively identified as 35 year old Tracy Ross of Scottsdale, Georgia. As the on-scene investigation progressed, Ross denied association with any vehicle in the hotel parking lot, telling the officers he had arrived by taxi. However, officers found his statements dubious, given his previous lies. They were able to establish that he had control over and constructive possession of a maroon colored, 2000 Buick Regal. Within that vehicle they discovered 30 grams of crack cocaine and digital scales. Ross was arrested. Subsequent to his arrest, officers discovered 143 Oxycodone (Oxycontin) dosage units concealed upon his person.
Ross was transported to the Gwinnett County Jail. He was charged with, “Providing a False Name to Law Enforcement,” “Trafficking Cocaine” and “Possession of Oxycodone.” He was also found to have an outstanding probation violation warrant. Ross remains in the Gwinnett County Jail; he is being held without bond.
