After nearly six months of investigating, Warner Robins Police issued a total of 71 warrants for, what they call, a massive drug ring. 

Between Monday and Tuesday, officers made 53 arrests on multiple drug charges. 

This comes after a joint investigation by Warner Robins Police, Perry Police, the Houston County Sheriff's Office, and the District Attorney's Office. 

Captain Chris Rooks with Warner Robins Police sat down with 13WMAZ's Karli Barnett and says it's rare they see an operation of this size.

He says they found over 70 people involved in buying and selling cocaine and prescription pills, including hydrocodone, Oxycodone, and Xanax.

Rooks says the street value ranges from about 20 to 30 dollars per pill.

Officers at the Warner Robins Police Department want to be proactive about preventing violence. 

At Russell Elementary, students have a new teacher at the front of the room for the next few weeks.

"Good morning!" the fifth graders welcome their instructor, Officer David Sabet. 

These students might know all the class rules. Outside of the classroom, however, their decisions now could have a lasting impact. 

That's where Officer David Sabet steps in. 

"Is it really going to make me cool if I do this?," he asks. "I say, if you want to be cool, turn on the air conditioner. Getting in trouble isn't cool."

He's been teaching the A.D.V.A.N.C.E program for over a decade. 

That stands for "avoiding drugs, violence, and negative choices early." 

"He was very solemn and didn't show much emotion to start with. The warden did come in and ask if he had anything to say, no," said media representative Cheri Adams from the Houston Home Journal.

The execution was delayed for an hour as Hittson's lawyers tried convincing the Court of Appeals and the U.S Supreme Court to commute the sentence to life without parole.
