Press Release
(Gwinnett County, GA, March 22, 2024) – The possession, delivery, or introduction of drugs, weapons, alcohol, or other forms of contraband is prohibited at the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office. We prioritize the prevention of illegal contraband from entering our facility through extensive screenings and inspections of all processed mail.
On December 27, 2023, a parcel enclosed in an envelope was delivered to the Sheriff’s Office and received by Inmate Services. The parcel contained two sheets of paper, which were tested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) and confirmed to be fentanyl.
The intended recipient was Inmate Justice Lusk, whose charges included three counts of Felony Murder, three counts of Aggravated Assault, and three counts of Possession of a Firearm or Knife during the Commission to Commit Certain Felonies.
Upon further investigation by the Jail Intelligence Unit, it was discovered that the package was delivered by the inmate’s brother, Jacob Lusk. Both individuals have been charged with a combined count of 10 warrants, nine of which are felony offenses.
It is our mission to combat crime both within the Gwinnett County Jail and the community. This investigation is a testament to the inherent dangers that law enforcement personnel face and serves as a reminder that we must remain vigilant in our mission of serving and protecting.
