Approximately 1 lb. of marijuana, methamphetamine, narcotics and drug paraphernalia were discovered after local authorities executed a search warrant last week.

According to a police report filed by Detective Kevin Woodard of the Macon County Sheriff’s Department, he and other detectives arrived at 3206 Scottsville Rd., Lot #10, to conduct a search warrant on January 20, 2020. Inside the residence was 20-year-old Jeremy Sanders.

The green, leafy substance weighed approximately 1 lb., and the white powder field tested positive for methamphetamine. The pills are believed to be the prescription drug, Gabapentin. All evidence was bagged and seized by authorities.
