Last week, Lowndes County narcotics agents arrested a West Point man in connection with a drug trafficking operation in which investigators uncovered more than $33,000 in cash and nearly 1,000 dosage units of ecstasy, among other illegal drugs.
Charterious Laquess Moore, 27, has been charged with conspiracy to possess a controlled substance and conspiracy to traffic a controlled substance, according to a Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office press release issued Tuesday. The county’s joint drug task force, along with officers with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, seized $33,200 in cash, 990 dosage units of ecstasy, one pound of methamphetamine and three pounds of marijuana during the investigation that led to Moore’s arrest on July 1.
Authorities expect more arrests in connection with the drug trafficking operation in the coming days, the press release said.
Moore has been released from Lowndes County Adult Detention Center on $12,500 bond.
