The search warrant was a result of several weeks of investigation into the dealing of narcotics in the Chipley area.
Sheriff Kevin Crews stated, “Collaboration between agencies leads to the successful investigation removing drug dealers from the streets.”
At approximately 9:00 a.m., members of the Drug Task Force executed the search warrant finding one person inside the residence, Laticia Jones, 28, of Chipley.
