PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. — Several law enforcement agencies are emphasizing the success of teamwork after they seized millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine during a drug bust.
The Paulding County Sheriff's Office said it was all thanks to a warrant and good policing.
In a news release, the sheriff's office said its deputies, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Haralson-Paulding Drug Task Force utilized a search warrant at a home along Paces Lakes Point in Dallas, Georgia. Agents believed the location was being used to traffic meth, the sheriff's office said.
During their bust Tuesday, agents seized almost nine pounds of crystal meth, 115 gallons of liquid meth, six rifles, one pistol, three vehicles and around $2,505 in cash.
