A man wanted in Coffee County since June 2015 on multiple felony drug and other charges was arrested Monday in Fulton County.
Coffee County Sheriff’s investigators stated last year that Francis Lee Grantham abandoned over one pound of methamphetamine after authorities attempted to stop him for a traffic violation. Grantham fled on foot at the time and has been on the run since. He allegedly left behind a backpack containing over one pound of methamphetamine, along with his state-issued identification.
Detectives with the Douglas – Coffee Drug Unit subsequently seized a firearm, ammunition, a small amount of marijuana, digital scales, and drug-packaging materials from Grantham’s home. He faces charges including trafficking methamphetamine, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and several traffic citations.
Anyone with information concerning this case is asked to call 911 or the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office at (912) 384-4227.
