One man is being sought after a traffic stop led to search warrants being executed on Wingfield Orchard Road properties. The Henry County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team conducted the narcotics related search warrant on January 23, at two properties, 305 Wingfield Orchard Road and 323 Wingfield Orchard Road, in Henry County.
The issuance of the search warrant stemmed from a traffic stop conducted by the Narcotics Interdiction Team, according to a release from the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.
During the search of the residence, investigators allegedly located an estimated 2.31 pounds of suspected methamphetamine, approximately 142 grams of suspected fentanyl, and approximately 18 grams of suspected psilocybin mushrooms.
The fentanyl seized is approximately 14,000 lethal doses of the deadly drug. Investigators also located packaging materials and an electronic scale that are consistent with the distribution of narcotics. A Ford backhoe was also seized from the property, the release stated.
As a result of the investigation, warrants were obtained for Rodney Allen Moore, 61. Moore is wanted on charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute more than 100 grams and possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute
“Fentanyl is one of the most dangerous substances we encounter, and it is destroying families across this nation,” Sheriff Wayne Davis said. “These deadly drugs tear communities apart and take the lives of our loved ones. The Henry County Sheriff’s Office maintains a zero-tolerance stance against those who choose to profit from narcotics at the expense of public safety.”
