Officer Mark Bishop, a Marietta police spokesman, said Robinson was relatively new to the drug scene in the city and the variety of drugs he sold was unusual.

Most drug dealers stick to one or two types of drugs to deal to their clientele, Bishop said.

Robinson was arrested at his home in the Westminster apartments on Fairground Street after a month-long investigation.

Police also seized: $1,182, a bullet-proof vest, three fake $100 bills, 37-inch and 32-inch flat screen televisions, iPods, stereos and surround-sound speakers.

Robinson is charged with: cocaine trafficking and possession with intent to distribute heroin, Ecstasy, LSD, marijuana, morphine.

He was also charged with possession with intent to distribute: two drugs in the amphetamine family (dextroamphetamine sulfate and dextroamphetamine saccharate); the pain killers Lortab, Vicodin and meperidine; and promethazine, which is prescribed for motion sickness and allergies. Robinson was also charged with cocaine possession.

Police also took his 1995 GMC Suburban and 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

Robinson was arrested March 28 and is being held at the Cobb County Jail with no bond.
