Three individuals are now facing serious charges related to the production and distribution of cocaine in Southeast Georgia, as revealed by the Camden County Sheriff’s Office.
In Camden County, Georgia, the Sheriff’s Office disclosed on Tuesday that a trio of suspects had been apprehended. They are accused of being involved in the production and distribution of both cocaine and crack cocaine.
The arrests were the result of a coordinated operation conducted on March 3, focusing on dismantling a drug distribution network active in the region, the sheriff’s office reported.
Among those arrested, Linward James Jr. was identified as a key figure in the investigation. His alleged accomplices, Curtis Waye and Marcus Johnson, were also detained during the operation.
Authorities also seized two firearms believed to be stolen. One of these weapons was traced back to a theft in St. Marys, while the other was reported stolen from Jacksonville.
The investigators also found two-kilogram cocaine presses, which the sheriff’s office said, “are commonly used to manufacture and repackage cocaine for distribution.”
“This investigation is a great example of what can be accomplished when local and federal law enforcement agencies work together toward a common goal,” said Sheriff Kevin Chaney. “Narcotics trafficking continues to fuel violence and crime in our communities, and we remain committed to identifying those responsible and holding them accountable. I’m proud of the work done by our teams and our partner agencies to remove dangerous drugs and illegal firearms from our community.”
James Jr., Waye, and Johnson all face various drug charges and the sheriff’s office says the investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming.
Agencies involved in this case include the Joint Camden Action Team (JCAT), St. Marys Police Department, Kingsland Police Department and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).
