Authorities have charged five people in connection with an alleged drug operation in Baldwin. The suspects were arrested following a multi-agency drug raid earlier this week.
On August 22, agents from the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office (ARDEO), Georgia Department of Community Supervision, Habersham County Sheriff’s Office, and Cornelia and Baldwin police departments executed a search warrant on the property at 1283 Shore Street. The search was the result of an investigation that began in July into alleged drug sales being conducted out of the residence, officials say.
During the search, authorities say they seized a quantity of drugs and firearms and arrested the following:
Teresa “TT” Mae Wheeler, arrested for possession with intent to distribute ecstasy, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute Xanax, four counts of possession of a firearm by convicted felon, and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony;
Casey “Bubba” Michael Tyler, arrested for possession with intent to distribute ecstasy, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute schedule Xanax, four counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony;
Steven Wayne Boyd, arrested for four counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon;
Christopher Austin Maney, arrested for possession of methamphetamine;
Cheyenne Star Wheeler, arrested for possession of methamphetamine.
Cheyenne Wheeler was released from jail on a $2300 bond. As of Friday morning, August 26, the four other suspects remained in the Habersham County Detention Center. A magistrate judge denied bond for Teresa Wheeler. The judge set Tyler’s bond at $67,200; Boyd’s at $22,400, and Maney’s at $2,720.
The investigation continues.
