GRAY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Jones County Sheriff’s Office announced today the arrest of 14 people connected with a significant drug operation.

Officials also confiscated more than $100,000 cash and silver bars as part of their investigation.

Update; Fourteen people have been arrested on drug charges according to the Jones County Sheriff’s Office.  Authorities say they seized guns, silver bars, a hundred eighty thousand dollars in cash, and more than a hundred fifty thousand dollars worth of Meth.  Investigators believe Chad Nicholson along with 13 other suspects were selling Meth in several counties in Middle Georgia.  Authorities hope this drug bust will slow down Meth trafficking in Middle Georgia.
