In a recent crackdown on illegal drug activities, a Gordon County man was detained for running a meth conversion lab. The Gordon County Sheriff's Office's Drug Enforcement Unit conducted a raid last week following rigorous investigations that led to the dismantling of the clandestine site. Precursor chemicals and production equipment were seized and are slated for forensic examination to determine the full scope of the operation and support potential further arrests, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
That man, 62-year-old Tracy Van McEntyre, was arrested on charges of manufacturing and trafficking after authorities seized liquid and crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, and psilocybin mushrooms from his residence at 200 Tara Drive, according to WSB-TV. McEntyre, whose criminal history includes more than ten arrests and at least two drug trafficking convictions, represents an ongoing challenge for both the community and law enforcement.
The Sheriff's Office is determined to combat the distribution of meth in the local community, urging residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity that might indicate illegal drug manufacturing or trafficking. Investigations are ongoing, with the Sheriff's Office committed to providing updates as new developments arise in the pursuit to staunch the flow of narcotics within the county boundaries.
