Fayette County, GA – Fender-Bender Leads To Drug Dealing Arrest
Fayette County, Georgia (May 24, 2023) - A traffic collision allegedly caused a much bigger problem for a Riverdale man who was arrested on drug-related charges, according to Fayette County deputies.
The Riverdale man had a bad day all around, according to the sheriff. It reportedly started when he caused an accident by making an illegal U-turn on State Road 85, and another driver crashed into the rear of his vehicle.
The other driver involved in the crash recorded a video of the Riverdale man taking a black bag from his trunk and carrying it into some nearby woods before a deputy arrived to investigate.
The deputies gave the Riverdale man an opportunity to explain himself.
The Riverdale man appeared to deny carrying anything out into the woods.
When a deputy and K-9 Axe began combing the woods, the dog allegedly discovered the black bag. According to deputies, it contained fentanyl, oxycodone, and marijuana, as well as a 40-caliber handgun and scales.
The Riverdale man was charged with drug possession, intent to distribute, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and tampering with evidence.
He was also found to be at fault for the car accident.
