In Carroll County, Georgia, a recent search warrant executed in connection with a shooting has resulted in the arrest of three individuals on charges related to drugs and firearms. The operation, conducted earlier this month at the Venue at Carrollton Apartments, uncovered a significant cache of illicit substances and weapons.
Authorities initiated the search warrant as part of an ongoing drug investigation linked to a previous shooting incident at The Foundry Apartments in Carrollton, which occurred in February. While specifics regarding the shooting were not disclosed by investigators, the search of the apartment revealed alarming discoveries.
Among the findings were several pounds of marijuana, Oxycodone, promethazine, at least five firearms, and a substantial amount of cash. Notably, one of the seized firearms was equipped with a switch mechanism, enabling it to function as an automatic weapon.
The individuals apprehended in connection with the operation include:
- Jhakil Murphy, 22, charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during certain crimes.
- Joseph Thompson, 22, facing charges of sale of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of Oxycodone, and possession of a machine gun.
- Kaitlyn White, 21, charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Following their arrests, all three suspects were taken to the Carroll County Jail. However, they have since been released on bond pending further legal proceedings.
The bust underscores law enforcement’s continued efforts to combat illicit drug activity and the associated dangers posed by firearms in the community. Investigations like these play a crucial role in maintaining public safety and upholding the rule of law.
