Douglas-Coffee Drug Unit (DCDU) detectives made two arrests last week following a residential search that yielded methamphetamine, marijuana, and controlled substance prescription medications Xanax and lorazepam.

Authorities stated Ronald Allen Lott, Jr. was charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of a scheduled controlled substance, and misdemeanor possession of marijuana following a July 9 search at 199 Ron’s Lane. Also arrested during the incident was 31-year-old Amanda Jacobs of Waycross, who was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Drug unit detectives also reported these additional recent arrests:

July 14 – Coffee County Sheriff’s Office deputies and DCDU HEAT Unit officers stopped a vehicle on Hwy 441 at Osbon Mills Rd. in Douglas after officers recognized the driver driving with a suspended license.  During the traffic stop, officers discovered methamphetamine inside the vehicle; DCDU was contacted, and Thomas Lyman Adams, III (39) of Douglas was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and driving with a suspended license.

July 16 – DCDU HEAT Unit officers stopped a vehicle on N.
