Mexican drug cartels are operating in Tennessee and every other state in the country, according to a report from the DEA.
The DEA’s map of cartel prevalence in every state shows Tennessee ranks in the middle of the pack, which didn’t surprise Jordan Breedlove, a narcotics agent with the 18th Judicial District Drug and Violent Crime Taskforce.
“Nashville is growing rapidly as a major source city in the narcotics trafficking business,” Breedlove said. “One of the most major source cities on the eastern coast, I would venture to guess.”
