A search warrant executed by Gilmer County Detectives and Agents of the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office turned up methamphetamine, stolen power tools and a stolen weapon.
Jacob Davis, 44, of Ellijay, was charged with trafficking methamphetamine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
“Gilmer County Sheriff’s Office and ARDEO are continuing to make as big of a dent as possible in the illegal drug trade in north Georgia,” said Gilmer County Sheriff Stacy Nicholson. “This case also demonstrates the exceptional coordinated effort of GCSO with surrounding agencies.”
The search warrant was the result of an investigation in which the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office and ARDEO agents seized 1,600 grams of methamphetamine.
While executing the search warrants for Davis’ residence, 638 grams of methamphetamine were seized, according to the Gilmer County Sheriff’s Office.
Davis, a convicted felon, was also found in possession of 33 firearms, according to reports. One of the firearms was found to be stolen in Fannin County.
Once the firearm was detected, Fannin and Gilmer detectives located a storage container with an “unusual” amount of power tools. The tools were tied back to multiple burglaries in Fannin County.
Davis was taken into custody at the scene, according to reports.
