Drug investigation leads to arrest of suspect who had just bonded out days earlier… for same offenses

On January 29, 2022 Detectives with Macon County Sheriff’s Office/Franklin Police Department Narcotics Unit were conducting surveillance at a residence on South Skeenah Road in reference to complaints about drug activity. While conducting surveillance, Detectives noticed a high number of traffic at the residence they were surveilling. This was a residence of an individual who was known to investigators as a person suspected of selling drugs in Macon County and one they had arrested in recent days. At the request of Detectives, a Macon County K9 unit was called to assist in the investigation.
