HOFFMAN – What started out as “serving a process” turned into a narcotics bust for the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.
On Thursday, Aug. 16th, deputies seized over 690 grams of marijuana, more than 13 grams of cocaine and over 70 Alprazolam pills at a residence in Hoffman.
A sheriff’s office patrol deputy went to the residence and noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the house.
The patrol deputy then contacted the narcotics investigators.
When the investigators responded to the address and investigated, a search warrant was subsequently obtained.
