A man was arrested after five pounds of marijuana worth an estimated street value of $25,000 was seized from a vessel docked at Loron Williams Park, the Crisp County Sheriff’s Office posted Tuesday on Facebook.
Jeremy Trey Sapp, 25, of Crisp County, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of butane hash oil with intent to distribute and possession of firearm during commission of crime, the post said.
About 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Georgia Department of Natural Resources game wardens Sgt. Al Greer and Cpl. Clint Martin saw an open Tupperware container on the vessel with what they suspected was marijuana inside, the post said.
