During the month of December, the Prince William County Vice/Narcotics Unit and the Washington Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a joint investigation into the sale of firearms and cocaine.

In early December police received information regarding the sale of high powered firearms and large quantities of cocaine by a convicted felon in Prince William County. Undercover officers were able to make several purchases of guns, including an AK-47 and several ounces of cocaine from the accused. On December 17, 2009 Gregory Ratliff was arrested. Immediately following his arrest a search warrant was executed at his residence in Orange County, Va. As a result of the search police seized 20 firearms, a ballistic vest, thousands of rounds of ammunition, cocaine and approximately $7,000 cash.
