‘Portable drug operation’ discovered

PRESS RELEASE – On Monday, May 27th, Towns County Sheriff’s Office received a call in reference to marijuana that had been found under a tarp in a wooded area behind the Sand Bar on Dogwood Lane.

The drugs were in a tote with a lid and appeared to be Marijuana. Inside the tote were multiple containers and multiple plastic packets seeming packaged and ready for sale.

Based on the packaging and the amount of drugs, the tote was used as a portable drug operation that could be moved from place to place.
