Three men face multiple drug related charges after Hall County deputies allegedly caught them with illegal narcotics on Dec. 7.
HCSO deputies responded to a report of suspicious activity at a residence along the 4300 block of Autry Rd. When authorities arrived at the scene after 7:30 p.m., a resident of the home told officers he heard noises coming from the basement.
Deputies checked the basement to discover the three men, Lucas DJ Grant, 31, of Cleveland, Charles Rodney Smith, 35, of Cleveland and Terry Dwayne Sayne, 53, of Gainesville sitting at a makeshift table with what appeared to be drug paraphernalia. The three men also allegedly had multiple bags filled a white substance, which later was determined to be illegal narcotics, according to HCSO.
Grant and Smith were arrested at the scene, but Sayne fled the residence. He was taken into custody on Monday, Dec. 16.
All three suspects have been charged with the following offenses:
· Felony possession of cocaine (1.4 grams)
· Felony trafficking of methamphetamine (46.6 grams)
· Possession of drug-related objects (misdemeanor)
Sayne also was charged with obstruction of an officer (misdemeanor).
Grant and Sayne remain in the Hall County Jail as of last report, while Smith was released on a $22,600 bond on Dec.11.
The case has been turned over to HCSO’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) for further investigation.
