Defendant was travelling on Interstate 75 in Lamar County, Georgia, and was stopped for traffic violations by a Deputy with the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office. A probable cause search was conducted due to the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and the plain sight view of loose marijuana pieces inside the vehicle. The search yielded the above-listed property in addition to a firearm and THC edibles. Defendant claimed ownership of the money and told the deputy that it was from an unemployment claim, but had previously stated that he was employed. Further, Defendant has prior arrests for felony drug and weapons offenses. The above-listed property was used or intended for use, directly or indirectly, to facilitate a violation of Georgia’s controlled substance laws in Lamar County, Georgia, punishable by imprisonment for more than one year.NOTICE The owners of the property described above and persons, corporations, or other entities possessing any interest in the above property must file a claim as required by O.C.G.A. § 9-16-11 within 30 days of the date of the second publication of this notice.
