Sheriff’s Continue to Crack Down on Drug Manufacturing

Officers from the Rabun County Sheriff’s Office took down another grow operation on Wednesday of last week, according the Sheriff Frank Andrews…

“We had received information that there was a possible indoor grow taking place, so we contacted our N.C.I.S. Team. Once we got to the residence, we talked with a James Lee Jenkins, who we discovered had outstanding felony warrants. We got a search warrant, and entered into the house, where we found an indoor grow taking place.”

Andrews says the warrants stem from another county…

“There was 19 plants. It was pretty well routine. We had received the information on it, and we acted as soon as we received it. For the outstanding warrants, he’ll be transported back to Monroe County.”

Officers also located methamphetamine that will add an additional charge on top of the warrants, intent to distribute, and firearm charges.
