This defendant obtained his drugs from drug distributors in Mexico by way of GA. He then distributed the drugs in NC, GA & FL and wired the drug proceeds back to Mexico. Law enforcement seized methamphetamine, firearms, ammunition, & over $10,000 in cash from him.

As a sworn officer, Biggins compromised public trust & violated federal statutes. Protecting our children from harm is one of our highest priorities, & identifying & prosecuting predators like Biggins is at the forefront of our efforts to combat child sexual exploitation.
