Four arrested in Central Georgia after drug investigation, GBI says
Authorities found drugs and a large amount of cash during searches in Baldwin and Bibb Counties.
MACON, Ga. — The Georgia Bureau of Investigations arrested four people as part of a multi-agency drug investigation, the GBI said in a press release. They say several months of investigation lead to three search warrants and authorities seizing a large amount of cash and drugs.
The case involved individuals in Wilkinson, Baldwin and Bibb Counties.
Four men — Martavious Jamale Moore, 31, Derrick Tyrone Taylor Jr., 26, Tu’aijah Keambre Warren, 28, and Kendall Saulsberry, 32 — were all arrested as part of the drug bust.
They say the investigation spanned several months, but on May 3, the GBI’s Middle Georgia Gang Task Force executed the three search warrants. Two searches took place in Milledgeville and one took place in Macon.
During the searches, the GBI agents seized what they believe to be crack cocaine, powder cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana. They also found a large amount of cash as well.
In the days after the search, the four people were charged with various drug charges.
Moore, who is from Macon, was charged with trafficking cocaine.
Taylor and Warren, who are both from Irwinton, were charged with gun and drug charges, including possession with intent to distribution.
Saulsberry, who is from Milledgeville, was charged with possession of firearm during the commission of a crime and possessing cocaine and marijuana with the intent to distribute.
Moore and Saulsberry were arrested and booked into the Baldwin County jail. Taylor and Warren were booked into the Wilkinson County jail.
The case involved the GBI, the Georgia State Patrol and the Georgia Department of Corrections. They also worked with local partners in Baldwin, Eatonton, Wilkinson and Putnam Counties.
On Wednesday, the GBI also announced another drug arrest. Macon man Tavish Faulks was arrested back in April for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine. They carried out a traffic stop that seized meth, marijuana, guns and 100 suspected fentanyl pills, the GBI says.
Both cases were overseen by the Middle Georgia Gang Task Force, which works to fight gang and drug activity in middle and south Georgia.
