(Cleveland)- The White County Sheriff’s Office and the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office Tuesday assisted the Governor’s Task Force/Drug Suppression, whose primary role is to eradicate domestic marijuana within the State of Georgia and to gather intelligence relating to its manufacture and cultivation. During Tuesday’s operation, three separate outdoor marijuana grows were located in White County.
Mitchell Posey, Special Agent In Charge of the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office said, White County authorities executed a search warrant at Lamar Yawn’s residence at 728 White Oak Trial Cleveland and found five marijuana plants along with less than an ounce of marijuana inside the residence. Yawn was charged with manufacturing marijuana and agreed to turn himself in at the White County Detention Center.
Another search warrant was executed at Christopher Richards’ residence at 100 Rattlesnake Hill Cleveland, and authorities found six marijuana plants, 1.5 lbs. of cultivated marijuana, a handgun and $12,000 inside the residence. Richards was arrested for manufacturing marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Richards was transported to the White County Detention Center.
Also, Posey said, White County authorities seized five marijuana plants that were found in the wood line on Town Creek Road. White County authorities continue to investigate this marijuana grow to determine who is responsible.
According to Posey, the total street value of the marijuana seized was $18,500.
