Last week, local authorities arrested a man who was dealing illegal drugs out of his vehicle, and they seized approximately $114,000 worth of drugs (street value) and $52,000 cash in the process.
“We are glad to work together with the sheriff’s office to get these drugs off the street and keep our community a safe place to live,” Eatonton Police Chief Howell Cardwell said.
