Here are the top three stories today in Duluth: A jury in Gwinnett County recently convicted two men for their involvement in a local drug trafficking organization.

The organization was moving large quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin in 2018.

The expiring waiver does not affect qualifications for free or reduced-fare meals.
