A Cleveland man is facing a string of drug and firearm charges after a bust by the White County Sheriff’s Office earlier this month.
According to a press release issued by the Sheriff’s Office, authorities executed a search warrant on June 3 at the residence of Richard Lee, 56, of Young Drive in Cleveland, Georgia.
The warrant followed an investigation sparked by tips alleging Lee was involved in trafficking and distributing methamphetamine in the White County area.
During the search, investigators seized over an ounce of methamphetamine, along with materials consistent with drug distribution, such as packaging supplies and various drug-related objects. Additionally, two firearms were discovered at the residence.
Lee, a convicted felon, was arrested and faces multiple charges, including trafficking methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of drug related objects, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (two counts), and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony (two counts).
