Major Drug Bust in Chattooga County

Bust 10A major drug bust occurred late last week just across the state line in Chattooga County.

Sheriff Mark Schrader says the raid at a home near the foot of Taylor’s Ridge resulted in the arrest of 47 year old Shawn Edwards, who was found to be in possession of a large stash of Crystal Meth.

The estimated street value of the drug was between $20,000 and $25,000.

Edwards had reportedly been under investigation for about a month prior to the raid of his home at around 10:30 last Thursday morning.

He currently faces charges of Possession of Meth, Trafficking in Meth, Possession of Meth with Intent to Distribute and Sale of Meth.

Bond was initially denied due to the trafficking charge. Edwards does have prior arrests on drug charges.

He currently remains in the Chattooga County Jail.
