On Monday, the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search warrant at a home on Canal Street in Griffin and served several arrest warrants.
According to officials, the home became a focus after multiple people suffered drug overdoses from fentanyl they bought from Robert ‘Trey’ Carroll III and other suspects who were helping him.
Investigators said during the search, they found fentanyl, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, and guns.
Sheriff Darrell Dix said, “When it comes to fentanyl, it seems like it’s a case of stupid is as stupid does. But with this box of chocolates, you know exactly what you’re gonna get. They keep on selling and buying it until one way or another they “fentanyl” around and find out.“
Dix said if you’re selling, his sheriff’s office is watching.
“I want to be perfectly clear, we are going to stack as many charges on you as we can. So you better keep your grass cut, junk cars out of your yard, and your dogs contained too,” Dix said.
