To “levy” means to seize or attach property by judicial order and to then convert the seized property into money through a Sheriff’s Sale to satisfy the judgment. Most property seized (levied upon) is personal property, but under certain circumstances, we can also seize Real Property. In general, we will make a ten (10) day money demand on the defendant by personal contact with the person(s) named in the FiFa or by leaving a letter at the person(s) home, if we are unable to make personal contact. This is an optional process since it is not required by law, but in some cases can be effective. If the defendant says that they cannot or will not pay, then we will return the FiFa to you with the results of our money demand. It is then up to you to provide us with any known assets of the defendant that are unencumbered (no security interest, no UCC filing, no secured debt, no liens, etc.). You can take your original FiFa to the Georgia Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division in Hapeville, GA to determine if the defendant has any motor vehicles that are either in his/her name or the name of the corporation (if applicable). Their web link is: Motor Vehicle Division. Once you have determined any assets you must: Give us a letter requesting that we do a levy, describing these assets and the address where you would like us to do the levy. Either give us a printout from the Motor Vehicle Division showing vehicles owned by the defendant or a letter certifying that an UCC search has been done and that there are no liens on the assets you are asking us to levy upon. Prior to levying, the plaintiff must pay certain fees in advance. They are generally, but not limited to: Legal Advertising in the Gwinnett Daily Post for four (4) weeks, wrecker and wrecker lot storage fees if a vehicle is to be seized, storage fees at a bonded warehouse located in Gwinnett County if appropriate, labor and transportation cost for the physical seizure and movement of any property levied upon if applicable.

Once the levy has been done, the items are placed in a bonded warehouse in Gwinnett County selected by the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office and paid by you, or in a wrecker lot in the case of vehicles. The seized property is then advertised for four (4) consecutive weeks in the Gwinnett Daily Post (legal organ of Gwinnett County) and then sold on the first Tuesday of the month.

Murphy, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Atlanta Division Special Agent. “Cases like this clearly demonstrate the resolve of the DEA to hold violent drug traffickers accountable." Gwinnett County District Attorney Chief Assistant John Melvin said, "This case is emblematic of the significant danger that criminal street gangs pose to our communities. Today we are safer because of the excellent work of the GCSO and our partner agencies. Now, this office will undertake the arduous task of ensuring that these defendants remain off the streets and are held accountable for their actions.” The GCSO Special Investigations Section remains steadfast in its commitment to pursuing individuals who pose a danger to the community. We extend our gratitude to our law enforcement partners for their collaboration, which has been instrumental in ensuring the successful prosecution of those involved in criminal activities that threaten the safety of our community.
