Authorities on Friday seized marijuana, amphetamine, heroin, ecstasy, Xanax and Oxycodone, the sheriff’s office said. They also found a large amount of “brand new” electronics, including computers and printers, that were possibly stolen, according to the statement. There were so many boxes that officials had to call two moving trucks to remove them.
“Detectives and agents with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are still looking into this case in an attempt to determine where the electronics came from,” the sheriff’s office said in the statement. “However, it is believed that they are stolen.”
Ogunsuyi and Hayden were charged with reckless conduct and possession of Oxycodone, Xanax, amphetamine and less than one ounce of marijuana. Additionally, Hayden was charged with possession of ecstasy and heroin as well as possession of heroin and Xanax with intent to distribute.
