Toccoa man charged with meth trafficking

Suspect arrested after multi-agency drug bust

A 32-year-old Toccoa man is facing felony drug charges following a multi-agency drug investigation in Stephens County.

Jeremy Lee Mans was arrested and charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The charges stem from a November 22 operation led by the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office (ARDEO) in conjunction with the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Department of Community Supervision.

Agents seized approximately 27 ounces of suspected methamphetamine and a handgun during the investigation, says ARDEO Special Agent in Charge Ken Howard. He says the investigation was prompted by “general complaints” from the public.

Mans is in custody at the Stephens County Detention Center.
