Zachary Myers (Source: CNT)SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -
A Savannah man was arrested Friday in
connection with selling controlled substances after a probe by the
Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team.
In June, CNT began
investigating 48-year-old Zachary Myers after getting a tip that Myers was selling controlled substances,
according to the CNT. Undercover agents gained
Myers trust and buying crack cocaine and heroin from Myers, according to the
CNT.
Shortly after 6 a.m. Friday, the CNT, Savannah-Chatham Metro Police SWAT
Team and the Chatham County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit executed a search warrant
at Myers home on
East 38th St. in Savannah. SWAT was used in the operation due to Myers
having several violent felony convictions, according to CNT.
The search warrant resulted
in the seizure of heroin worth about $4,000 and more than $2,900 in cash,
according to the CNT.
At the time of the search
warrant, Myers was charged with sale of a controlled substances (crack cocaine,
heroin) and use of a telecommunication device.
Myers is being held at the Chatham County Detention Center. More felony charges to include sale of controlled substances and trafficking
heroin are expected to be filed against Myers.
Myers' latest arrest was his
23rd booking in Chatham County, 10th drug-related arrest and his second arrest by CNT,
according to the CNT.
