KC Pit BBQ owners among seven indicted on drug charges
| Quote: | The owners of a popular Sandy Springs BBQ restaurant face drug and money laundering charges following a June 17 raid by the Internal Revenue Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
KC Pit BBQ has closed for good shortly after federal agents searched the property located on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.
Restaurant co-owner Shannon Johnson, charged with money laundering conspiracy, is out on a $75,000 bond but her husband, Jiles Johnson, and five co-conspirators remain behind bars, said special assistant U.S. attorney Mike Smith. Schawn Wortham, charged with money laundering conspiracy, was also released on a $75,000 bond.
The restaurant, located at 6317 Roswell Road, reopened briefly after the raid but was closed for good about a month later.
Also charged in the investigation:
Thallas Amie, charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine and possession of a firearm in a drug trafficking offense; Laverne Simon, charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine; Mark Walker, charged with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine and money laundering conspiracy; and Jacques Degaule, charged with money laundering conspiracy. |

So, was it only "popular" because of the "secret spices"?

They had just moved into a larger space earlier this year. The food was fair to middlin' at best, but they drew a pretty good crowd.
My guess is that the po po will be taking his share of that equipment as a criminal enterprise.
