The Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office in Statesboro, Georgia, wrapped up their week by conducting a second drug raid, seizing a sizable amount of fake pills on Thursday night.

Officials acted on a tip about a property located on Johnson Street. It was reported that 47-year-old Dryan Bartley and 43-year-old Marqueles Dennis were involved in drug storage and sales at this location.

“It appeared that the house was not occupied on a regular basis. Individuals would only visit the property sporadically to conduct transactions, and otherwise, the place remained empty,” explained Lieutenant Jake Saxon from the Crime Suppression Team of BCSO.

He said before Dennis and Bartley could finish flushing what they had down the toilet; authorities found a half pound of pills they believe to contain bath salts and fentanyl, along with an ounce of cocaine and some marijuana.

“We move to take swift action to apprehend those people because we don’t want that stuff in Bulloch County,” said Saxon.

He told the neighborhood where they were found has a long history of crime and drug activity, but he said, regardless, fentanyl isn’t so much of a local problem as a national one. 

“We’ve seen many overdose related deaths,” said Saxon. “It ruins people’s lives and it’s very dangerous for anybody to be involved in it.”

Bartley is facing drug trafficking charges, along with the multiple possession charges he and Dennis share. Bartley has also been charged with cruelty to animals, for a dog they said he had chained up outside without any food or water.

They have been booked into the Bulloch County Jail where they are being questioned.
