"This like cartel numbers"- Internet reacts amid reports of Peewee Longway's alleged arrest in drug bust case

Peewee Longway has been reportedly arrested after a recent seizure of drugs worth $200 million. The seizure was a result of Operation Sweet Silence conducted by law enforcement authorities and reportedly around 101 people have been arrested until now. The operation was intended to stop the drug cartels and it started around two years ago.

Apart from the drugs, the authorities have additionally seized cash worth $273,433, and charges related to drug trafficking and distribution were imposed on 19 people. Notably, Peewee Longway's name is not included among those who were charged and further updates on the same are currently awaited.

The website of the US Attorney's Office reported that certain substances like fentanyl and methamphetamine were found, alongside firearms like machine guns and Glock switches. The operation was launched as part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.

Furthermore, Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman told the reporters that it is necessary to stop drug trafficking in Columbus. He said that the ones who have not been captured are not safe and their work has not ended yet. He continued:

"Just because your name was not caught in the arrest yesterday, don’t get too comfortable."

On the other hand, Netizens took to the comments section of No Jumper's Instagram post to share their reactions to the arrest, with one of them writing:

Peewee Longway was reported to be allegedly battling with his health a week ago

Also known as Quincy Williams, a rumor about his hospitalization went viral on different platforms on September 6, 2024. The news emerged out of an Instagram post shared by Global Dallas TV, stating that he was fighting for his life after reportedly consuming the same drug that was allegedly used by Rich Homie Quan.

Peewee Longway later posted a statement through his Instagram Story which reads:

"I'm great and very prayed up and [too] healthy to be in the hospital."

Although Peewee Longway's recent arrest has created headlines, he was previously involved in a similar trouble in 2014. He was charged with illegal possession of a controlled substance and marijuana and his performance at The Luxe Bar & Grill was canceled for the same. As per XXL Mag's report on September 1, 2014, a representative for the venue said at the time:

"While we were setting up the VIP area, I got a call from his manager saying they were 30 minutes away. Then next thing you know, he calls back saying they got pulled over by the police down the street."

While the 40-year-old is well-known as a solo artist, he was previously a part of the group Felix Brothers. He is also associated with record labels like 1017 and MPA BandCamp and has two albums in his credits, including Mr. Blue Benjamin and Long Money.
