Disturbance Call Leads to Drug Arrest

Toccoa Police make a drug arrest after responding to a disturbance call over the weekend.

Chief Tim Jarrell said an officer responded to a reported disturbance on Hillcrest Drive last Friday at about 11 p.m.

“While investigating, the disturbance, they were able to recover a small amount of marijuana and during the course of the investigation, the officer had reason to believe that there was more marijuana at the residence. A search warrant was obtained for the residence. During the execution of the search warrant, a green, leafy substance believed to be marijuana was located in various locations throughout the house.”

Jarrell said that about 1/2 pound of marijuana was recovered in the home, along with drug related objects used for smoking marijuana.

According to the chief, 30-year-old Kyle Patrick Runner of Toccoa was charged with Felony Possession of Marijuana with the Intent to Distribute.

Chief Jarrell said other charges are possible in connection with this case.
