Pot, suspected drug trafficker found in East Point, federal authorities say
Federal authorities seized 100 pounds of marijuana and captured a man suspected of being a major drug trafficker at an East Point home Wednesday afternoon.
U.S. marshals found the marijuana, a pistol and some methamphetamine in the house where they arrested Josh Varner, 34, said inspector Gavin Duffy with the marshal service.
Authorities believe that Varner is a major supplier in a drug ring that started in Savannah, Duffy said.
Varner was indicted three years ago for narcotics trafficking and has been on the run ever since, he said.
