4 people arrested in connection to large drug ring

FULTON COUNTY, Ga — Roswell Police have arrested four people, including a father and son, in connection with a large drug ring.

Patrick Jankowski, 47, his 19-year-old son Angelo, 20-year-old Riley Bloomer and 19-year-old Amanda Kurkjian are all facing charges stemming from a Thursday raid.

“We found lots of pills, lots of marijuana, wax, which is a concentrated THC, several guns, including an AR-15, handguns, shotguns,” Officer Zachary Frommer of the Roswell Police Department told Channel 2’s Mike Petchenik.

Frommer said evidence shows that Jankowski and his son operated the organization out of the family’s King Road home, and that many of the customers were Roswell High School students.

“The house is only a mile away from Roswell High School so it was convenient for the buyers to be able to make the purchases,” Frommer said.

Frommer said the ring is one of the larger ones operating in the city, and he said the arrests should put a dent in the city’s drug trade.

“Hopefully it’ll slow things down a little bit,” he said.  “You can never fully stop it, but we do our best to follow up on as many leads as we can and stop the big ones.”

Frommer said these arrests have led to leads on other potential suspects.

Petchenik previously reported on the arrests of Bloomer and Angelo Jankowski in 2012, after police said the pair were picked up in Mountain Park for selling drugs out of a rented home there.

Records show both men pleaded guilty to the charges and received “first offender” treatment, meaning their records would have been clean had they not been arrested again.

A woman who answered the phone at the Jankowski home said they had no comment and asked that the story not be reported. Family attorney Rory Starkey told Channel 2 Action news he would have no comment.

Neighbor Roger Ghai told Petchenik he saw the raid last week, but thought that someone had been hurt at the home.

“I didn’t know what was going on and I still don’t know what’s been going on,” he said.  “It’s kind of a shock for me.”
