A recent complaint relayed to authorities through 911 led to the arrest of a Douglas woman who drug agents say was caught red-handed near a local park.

Agents with the Douglas – Coffee Drug Unit (DCDU) reported Monday that on July 21 Douglas police officers encountered two individuals sitting in a public park on S. Gaskin Ave. after Coffee 911 received a complaint of these individuals possibly selling narcotics.  

Following a brief investigation, 40-year-old Amy Lynn Dotter was allegedly found to be in possession of cocaine and OxyContin tablets, and she was subsequently arrested for possession of cocaine and possession of a scheduled controlled substance.

DCDU officials also reported the following additional recent arrests:

July 23 – Coffee County Sheriff’s Office deputies stopped a vehicle on Chester Ave. at Gordon St. in Douglas after a deputy observed two wanted fugitives in the vehicle; James Taylor (24) of Douglas and Russell Waters (46) of Nicholls were both arrested on outstanding bench warrants issued by the Drug Court of Coffee County.  Another passenger in the vehicle, Christina Strickland (32) of Nicholls, was found to be in possession of marijuana, methamphetamine, two different strengths of Xanax and Clonazepam tablets; DCDU was contacted.  Strickland was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana, possession of methamphetamine, and three counts of possession of a scheduled controlled substance.

July 24 – DCDU K-9 officers stopped a vehicle on Ga. Hwy. 135 at Bethel Rd. for a traffic violation.  During the traffic stop, officers discovered the driver, Colby Davenport (26) of Douglas, was driving with a suspended driver’s license.  Further investigation led to the discovery of marijuana, sixteen individually wrapped packages of methamphetamine, and over $900 cash.  Davenport was arrested for driving with a suspended driver’s license and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.  A passenger in the vehicle, Bryant Knight (46) of Broxton, was also arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
