A drug bust at a Woodstock home Friday morning led to the arrest of all seven residents after law enforcement agents discovered drugs, guns and explosives, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office announced.
The operation was the culmination of a two-month investigation into possible drug activity at the home on Stockwood Drive, Cherokee sheriff’s office spokesman Jay Baker said. The initial investigation uncovered about 100 grams of methamphetamine, less than an ounce of marijuana and eight guns.
