3 people arrested in two separate drug busts in Crisp County, sheriff's office announces

A man was arrested after deputies said they found four bags of fentanyl in his car. A few hours later, another stop found cocaine and marijuana in a separate car

CRISP COUNTY, Ga. — Three people were arrested on drug charges in two separate drug busts on Thursday in Crisp County.

One of them was a Michigan man found trafficking four bags full of fentanyl, the Crisp County Sheriff's Office says.

The first bust happened at around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. A black BMW was driving on Georgia 401 and I-75 near mile marker 92 when deputies pulled it over for matching the description of a reckless driving incident, the sheriff's office said. 

Deputies also saw the car failing to maintain its lane and stopped the vehicle. 

One deputy then ran 48-year-old Milo Yarborough's license. According to them, they found multiple felony warrants in his name from Maryland and Minnesota.

The driver offered conflicting comments about where the vehicle was registered and where he lived. Ultimately, deputies found Yarborough was from a suburb of Detroit.

When asked about the vehicle's registration, the driver said it was in the truck. But when deputies checked the trunk, they smelled marijuana. 

A deputy then searched the vehicle and found four bags containing a white substance, a plastic container with pills, a package of suspected marijuana, and multiple phones and a tablet, the release said. 

They say deputies conducted a "presumptive test" which found the white substance to be fentanyl. 

Yarborough, who is from Royal Oak, Michigan - just outside of Detroit - was charged with trafficking fentanyl, possession with intent to distribute MDMA, and  possession of marijuana.

The multiple quart bags were found to contain fentanyl, a test showed. The DEA says two milligrams of fentanyl can be enough to kill someone.

Then, only a few hours later, a Crisp County Sheriff's deputy pulled over a silver Dodge Charger for failing to maintain its lane. After stopping the car, they smelled marijuana. 

The stop would lead to the arrest of two men from Albany on drug and gun charges, the Crisp County Sheriff's Office said in another press release. 

It happened Thursday morning around 12:20 a.m. on Georgia Highway 300 near Weldon Road.

Kevin Moore, 25, and Terrance Davis, 26, were both arrested by the sheriff's office. 

After searching the car, deputies found two bags they believed contained marijuana along with a bag containing "a white substance" and another bag with white pills. After a "presumptive test," it was found to be positive for cocaine, and the pills tested positive for MDMA.

Both Moore and Davis were charged with possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and marijuana along with having pills not in their original container. 

Moore was also charged with the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime and Davis was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and giving a false name to officers.
