A man and woman in Georgia are each facing several drug charges after the police reportedly found a large amount of narcotics in their possession and accused them of trafficking.
According to reports, at the end of November, several citizens called the authorities with complaints about an apartment in the Forsyth Garden Apartments complex. When the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office went to the address with a warrant and searched the residence, they reportedly found cocaine, marijuana, and prescription pain medications. The man who lives in the apartment was arrested and charged and later released on bond.
After his release, the police reported that they were informed that the man was still selling narcotics. On December 30, they were granted a search warrant, and deputies returned to the apartment to investigate. When they went inside, they reported that a female was also in the residence. They allegedly uncovered 59.1 grams of crack cocaine, 9.3 grams of powder cocaine, 140 grams of marijuana, and multiple pieces of drug paraphernalia during their search.
Both suspects were taken into custody and booked into the Monroe County Jail. The man is facing a second set of the same charges he was arrested for in November, which are trafficking cocaine, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, distribution of controlled substances near public housing, and possession of drug-related objects.
The female was accused of trafficking cocaine, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, distribution of controlled substances near public housing, possession of drug-related objects, and violation of a family violence order. At the time this was written, both parties were being held without bond.
