Georgia gang member charged with drug crimes captured in Mexico while on the run

A fugitive wanted for federal drug crimes in Georgia and then fled authorities was arrested over the weekend in Mexico, the FBI said Monday.

The last suspect indicted in a Georgia drug conspiracy case and recently featured on "America's Most Wanted" was captured by Mexican police over the weekend while on the run, the FBI said. 

David Young, 43, was captured by authorities in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico on Saturday. Young was one of 76 people indicted as part of a drug conspiracy case – "Operation Ghost Busted" -- tied to the Ghost Face Gangsters street gang.

A federal arrest warrant was issued for him in December 2022 out of Georgia after Young was charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute a controlled substance.

"Gangs that operate out of our prison systems not only bring drugs and violence into prison facilities – they also breed drug-fueled violence in our communities," Supervisory Senior Resident Agent of FBI Atlanta’s Savannah Office Will Clarke said in a release at the time. 

"We are committed to dismantling violent gangs like the Ghost Face Gangsters and holding their members and those who conspire with them accountable for criminal conduct," he added.

Young, known as "Khaos," was featured on a Feb. 19 episode of AMW that centered around the Ghost Face Gangsters, a prison gang that originated out of the Georgia penal system. 

Young has been brought back to the United States, the FBI said.
