On the date of 06/01/2025, I, Sgt. Cheatwood was patrolling the area of Alabama Street as I made a left hand turn onto Burson Avenue. I observed a red in color mustang make a right turn from the other direction in front of me. I watched the vehicle as it passed by believing to detect the odor of marijuana. Seeing multiple vehicles in the area, I continued to follow the vehicle bearing Ga Tag: [REDACTED]. The vehicle then made a quick right turn on North Aycock Street and began traveling faster than the normal flow of traffic.

While running the tag through our GCIC/NCIC system, I would learn that the vehicle had an expired tag from March 2025. I then observed the vehicle to fail to maintain its lane of travel. I immediately called out my intent to conduct a traffic stop on the radio and activated my emergency blue lights. I then began chirping my siren as the vehicle in question failed to slow down or pull over. I continued Chirping as the vehicle passed a couple safe areas to stop.

Noticing that it was a convertible mustang, I observed the driver, raise his right hand and point left as if he was going to turn into and stop on Lake Drive. I called out to dispatch during this time that the vehicle was still rolling and we were signaling to pull into Lake Drive. I know from experience there is only a couple houses inside Lake Drive, but several vehicles in the past had driven down Lake Drive to bail out of the vehicle on foot. I began to get prepared by opening my driver door as we had slowed down significantly.

While doing so, I clearly observed the male driver take his right hand and throw several small items across the vehicle out the passenger side window into some nearby bushes. The vehicle then came to a quick stop. I immediately went to the driver side door fearing the male may flee, but he did not. I called out that the male had likely thrown drugs out of the window from prior experience and what I observed. I began to detect the odor of marijuana and pulled the male from the vehicle. I observed a large bulge in the males’ front pockets that was later found to be a very large stash of cash was located.

I explained to the driver what I was stopping him for and that I would locate whatever he had thrown outside the window. I detained the driver due to belong alone that time that, the strong odor of marijuana and knowing potential evidence had already been thrown in an attempt to conceal it.

I knew other officers where heading to my direction. I waited for other officers to arrived and showed them the general area in which I believed that the evidence was thrown.

Cpl. Moore and K9 Olivia arrived, and Cpl. Moore cast K9 Olivia in the general area in which I believed the evidence to be thrown, and I was advised Olivia had given a positive alert for illegal narcotics.

I began a search of the vehicle due to the odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle and the driver’s person. Little buds of green marijuana were located under the driver seat and collected by officers. Also located inside the vehicle was cigar “wraps” commonly used to roll and smoke marijuana. A digital scale was also located lying behind the driver seat within arms reach along with another marijuana “bud.

I then went back to my vehicle and read the driver his Miranda Rights. I was advised that his name was Avery Terrell Wynn, although he did not possess a drivers license on his person. I ran that name and matched a license photo to the driver and confirmed his identify. I began questioning Wynn who ultimately stated that he threw out marijuana. Wynn stated he did so because he is on probation and wasn’t sure if I was going to charge him with it or not. I explained to Wynn that most officers only collect and destroy a small amount of marijuana and that is well known. Noting Wynn is from the area; I believed that there was more of a reason that he would toss any evidence.

Cpl. Moore and I continued to look for any items thrown. I made it clear that there were multiple items tossed that I could see with the naked eye.

Cpl. Moore would soon locate a small baggie containing a white substance where K9 Oliva had alerted. Upon looking further into this baggie, it appeared to be marijuana soaked in a thick white substance. This is known as “Moon Rocks”. This a very highly concentrated THC substance that is a felony inside the state of Georgia due to its potency.

A few moments later, a second baggie was located within the same area. This baggie contained what appeared to be regular grade marijuana that matched that inside the vehicle.

I began questioning Wynn on the white substance marijuana. Wynn admitted that it was “moon rocks” which is a much stronger marijuana that he was going to “mix” with regular marijuana and smoke with a female later in the afternoon.

Wynn was then transported to the Carroll County Jail and charged with the following:

VGCSA (sch 1) *felony, Tampering with Evidence *felony, VGCSA (marijuana less than an ounce), Abandonment of dangerous drugs (as children live and play on the roadway in the area as its a dead-end street). Expired Tag, Failure to maintain lane.
