Perry police arrest 12 in multi-county drug investigation

Perry police say officers searched 10 homes and three businesses while investigating an alleged cocaine and marijuana distribution network.

PERRY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Twelve people have been arrested after Perry police executed search and arrest warrants at 10 homes and three businesses Friday during an investigation into a cocaine and marijuana distribution network operating across Houston and Peach counties, according to Perry police.

In a news release, the Perry Police Department called it Operation Snow Hill. Investigators say the network operated primarily in Perry, Warner Robins, Centerville and Fort Valley.

Police say the operation followed a three-month investigation by the department’s Criminal Investigations Division into drug trafficking involving Deltravious Shavad Hill, Shane Giovani Brown, Craigory Allen Jolly and Darrell Antwan Lynn.

Police say the following people were arrested and booked into the Houston County or Peach County detention centers:

• Deltravious Shavad Hill: Three counts under the Georgia RICO Act
• Shawnterrio Jacinda Green: Three counts under the Georgia RICO Act
• Trey Taylor: Three counts under the Georgia RICO Act
• Deanna Revell: Possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug-related items
• Darrell Antwan Lynn: Three counts under the Georgia RICO Act, six counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and two counts of possession of stolen firearms
• Craigory Allen Jolly: Three counts under the Georgia RICO Act and trafficking in marijuana
• Donald Wyers: Possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug-related items
• Nytavius Tansell Hillman: Possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during the commission of a drug crime
• Alexis Talyah Smith: Possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during the commission of a drug crime
• Shane Giovani Brown: Three counts under the Georgia RICO Act, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a stolen firearm
• Brandon Williams: Three counts under the Georgia RICO Act and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute
• Richard Lawrence: Possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug-related items

Perry police say additional arrests and charges are expected as investigators review evidence gathered during the operation.

“Drug trafficking organizations do not respect city limits, and neither will our investigations,” Perry Police Chief Alan Everidge said.

Agencies participating in the operation included the Houston County District Attorney’s Office, FBI, Warner Robins Police Department and sheriff’s offices in Houston, Peach and Monroe counties. The U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and Tri-County Special Response Team also assisted. The response team included deputies from the Crisp, Dooly and Turner county sheriff’s offices.

Perry police credited Houston County District Attorney Eric Edwards with providing funding for equipment that expanded the department’s unmanned aircraft capabilities. Police say the equipment helped investigators maintain aerial operations during the investigation.
