A Gainesville man is in jail charged with trafficking heroin and methamphetamine. Agents arrested 52-year-old Delbert Channie Tucker on Thursday, December 17, while searching a residence in northwest Hall County.
During the search, agents with the Gainesville/Hall County Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad seized drugs worth an estimated $400,000 on the street, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office says. The search took place at a residence in the 5600 block of West Waterwood Drive off of Dudley Hill Road.
“In the course of the short-term investigation, agents seized approximately eight pounds of methamphetamine, two pounds of marijuana, eight grams of heroin and $83,000 cash,” says HCSO spokesperson Derreck Booth. Deputies with the Uniform Patrol Division K9 Unit assisted with the case.
In addition to the trafficking charges, agents charged Tucker with felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Booth says no more arrests are expected in the case.
