On June 15, 2026, at 2305 hours, I was patrolling Saxon Street when I observed black Ford Fiesta bearing Georgia tag [REDACTED] parked in the front yard of [REDACTED] with the windows down and three children in the back seat. Due to the late hour and the presence of unattended children, Officer Morrison and I, along with our trainees, Officers Smith and McLain, exited our vehicles to attempt to contact the parents.

As we approached, a black male, later identified as Mr. Christopher Sapp, stepped from the passenger seat and walked to meet us. He spoke with Officer Morrison and informed him that the children were not his but belonged to the woman he had driven to the house with, who was currently inside.

While they were speaking, I ran the tag [REDACTED] through my mobile terminal and found that it was registered to a blue Honda Pilot with a canceled registration under the name [REDACTED]. The tag had been illegally transferred to the black Ford Fiesta.

I interrupted Officer Morrison and Mr. Sapp’s conversation and asked for the name of the mother who was inside. He told me that her name was Brittany Woods. I returned to my mobile terminal, researched her name, and found that Ms. Brittany Woods was wanted for a Failure to Appear out of Glynn County on a Driving with a Suspended License charge. I also observed that her license was still suspended.

Mr. Sapp called Ms. Woods and asked her to come outside and speak with us regarding her children and the vehicle. She joined us outside, and I began interviewing her. She stated that she used to live in this house and had come back to retrieve her belongings, holding up a plastic bag filled with miscellaneous clothing and chargers. I asked her if she had driven there, and she claimed that she had not; instead, Mr. Sapp had driven. She vehemently insisted on this, and Mr. Sapp agreed, stating that he had driven over, although we had observed him exiting the passenger seat.

After she confirmed the last four digits of her Social Security number, which allowed me to confirm the warrant, I walked her out of view of her children and detained her, cuffing her behind her back, checking the cuffs for fit, and double-locking them. I then placed her in the back of my vehicle and secured her with a seatbelt. I read Ms. Woods her Miranda warning, and she agreed to speak with me.

Dispatch reached out to the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office, who confirmed that they had the warrant and would accept her. After that, I worked with Ms. Woods to get hold of her father to come pick up her children. He advised that he would not be able to and sent his niece, Ms. [REDACTED], to get the children.

I asked Ms. Woods if we could search the car, but she refused and began shouting at Mr. Sapp to roll up the windows and lock the doors, even though the vehicle was still off and the children were inside. She also requested that Mr. Sapp grab her purse.

DISCOVERY OF DRUGS AND ARREST OF MR. SAPP:

Mr. Sapp walked to the driver’s side of the car, retrieved Ms. Woods’ purse, and walked it over to me. While this occurred, Officer Morrison spotted a blue drawstring bag on the ground within five feet of the car. Mr. Sapp attempted to conceal the bag by stepping on it, preventing Officer Morrison from seeing and seizing it.

Officer Morrison detained Mr. Sapp. I read Mr. Sapp his Miranda rights, and he refused to speak with us further. His person was searched, and he was placed in the back of Officer Morrison’s patrol car.

Officer Morrison retrieved the blue drawstring bag and found the following inside: three plastic baggies, each containing a white crystal-like substance that appeared to be methamphetamine based on my training and experience, and folded aluminum foil containing a white powder substance that appeared to be cocaine. Officer Morrison performed a field test of the substances. The crystal-like substance tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine, and the white powder substance tested positive for the presence of cocaine using a NIK wipe.

I spoke with Ms. Woods about whether the bag was hers, and she stated that it was not her drugs and suggested that it must have been Mr. Sapp’s. She then used this opportunity to yell to her children, ordering them to roll up the windows, lock the doors, and not let the police in.

TRANSPORT OF MS. WOODS AND MR. SAPP:

Officer Lee arrived on scene to transport Ms. Woods to the Glynn County Jail, where she was served with the Failure to Appear warrant. Officer Morrison arrested Mr. Sapp and transported him to the Glynn County Jail, where he was initially booked for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine, Possession of Cocaine, and Tampering with Evidence.

SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE:

Officer Smith and I remained with the children and the vehicle while waiting for Ms. [REDACTED]. While waiting, I noted that Ms. Woods had repeatedly ordered others, including her children, to lock the doors and roll up the windows despite the car being off and the children being inside. This behavior indicated that Ms. Woods was more concerned with police searching her vehicle than the welfare of her own children.

While walking around the outside of the vehicle, I observed another bag containing a white crystal-like substance on the ground just beneath the passenger-side door. At the same time, Officer Smith found a white glass container containing a singular large crystal that also appeared to be methamphetamine underneath the driver-side door. Inside the vehicle, I observed plastic wrapping and white crystal-like flakes on the passenger-side floorboard that appeared similar to the methamphetamine already recovered.

Ms. [REDACTED] arrived on scene and took custody of the children. I asked her to check each of the children for any illegal substances, making it clear that I was not ordering her to do so. I identified the children at this time as [REDACTED BY AGENCY] (age 8), [REDACTED BY AGENCY] (age 2), and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] (age 5). After she took possession of the children and left the scene, Officer Smith and I searched the vehicle.

In the passenger-side floorboard, I located a black drawstring bag with a Nike symbol. Right next to this bag, I collected a large amount of white crystal-like fragments from the floorboard. Inside the bag, I found the following items of note:

An electronic scale with white crystal-like residue

A Super Mannitol dietary supplement bottle containing a pure white powder that was half full

An empty bag of Goody’s headache powder, which is also a clear white powder

Right next to this bag and the crystals on the floorboard, I located a SCCY CPX-1 9mm handgun with serial number C5649926 underneath the floorboard mat. The weapon was loaded with a round chambered, unsecured, with the safety off, and was not in a holster or container.

Officer Smith ran the serial number through dispatch, and they advised that the weapon was stolen through Chatham County. A hit confirmation was sent to Chatham County, which confirmed that the weapon was stolen.

We searched the entire vehicle, but no other items of evidentiary value were recovered.

I field-tested the fragments from the floorboard, the bag found beneath the passenger-side door, and the rock found underneath the driver-side door. All three tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine.

I transported all evidence to headquarters for further processing.

EVIDENCE WEIGHTS AND TOTALS:

Methamphetamine (Total: 27.7 grams):

Blue drawstring bag recovered from beneath Mr. Sapp’s foot: 13.1 grams total, consisting of three separate bags weighing 5.7 grams, 3.7 grams, and 3.6 grams respectively

Bag located beneath the passenger-side door: 3.8 grams

Rock located underneath the driver-side door (found by Officer Smith): 8.0 grams

Crystal fragments collected from the passenger-side floorboard: 2.6 grams

Cocaine (Total: 0.4 grams):

Located in the blue drawstring bag recovered from beneath Mr. Sapp’s foot: 0.4 grams

AMENDED CHARGES AND PROBABLE CAUSE:

After reviewing the totality of the case, I amended the charges against both Ms. Woods and Mr. Sapp. Warrants will be submitted for all charges listed below.

PROBABLE CAUSE FOR DISTRIBUTION:

The quantity of methamphetamine recovered at the scene totaled 27.7 grams, which is 0.3 grams short of a trafficking charge. The methamphetamine was packaged into five separate packages and was found alongside two dietary supplements known as cutting agents and a scale with residue.

Additionally, the methamphetamine was in three separate phases of processing: a singular uncut rock found underneath the driver-side door, uncut ground-up rocks in the blue drawstring bag, and what appeared to be cut product in the bag located beneath the passenger-side door. All of these facts indicate involvement in the distribution of methamphetamine.

CHARGES AGAINST MS. BRITTANY WOODS:

Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine under OCGA 16-13-30(b): This charge is based on the 27.7 grams of methamphetamine seized during this investigation, which was located in and around Ms. Woods’ vehicle. By her own vehement testimony, corroborated by Mr. Sapp, the vehicle was hers and she was not driving, which would have placed her in the passenger seat. The methamphetamine was located inside the passenger-side bag where the drug-related objects were found, on the passenger-side floorboard, and on the ground beneath the passenger-side door.

The total weight of 27.7 grams, combined with the methamphetamine being packaged into five separate packages, the presence of two dietary supplements known as cutting agents (Super Mannitol and Goody’s headache powder), an electronic scale with methamphetamine residue, and the methamphetamine being in three separate phases of processing-a singular uncut rock, uncut ground-up rocks, and what appeared to be cut product-all establish intent to distribute rather than personal use.

Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance (Cocaine) under OCGA 16-13-30(a): This charge is based on the 0.4 grams of cocaine found in the blue drawstring bag within reach of Ms. Woods’ vehicle following her arrest.

Possession of Drug-Related Objects under OCGA 16-13-32.2: This charge is based on the packaging materials, dietary supplements used as cutting agents, and electronic scale with residue located inside Ms. Woods’ vehicle in the passenger seat she claimed to have been riding in.

Theft by Receiving Stolen Property (Felony) under OCGA 16-8-7: This charge is based on the stolen SCCY CPX-1 9mm handgun (serial number C5649926), confirmed stolen through Chatham County, which was located in Ms. Woods’ vehicle in the passenger-side floorboard area. The charge is a felony due to the property being a firearm.

Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of Certain Crimes under OCGA 16-11-106: This charge is based on the loaded firearm being located in Ms. Woods’ vehicle alongside controlled substances.

Cruelty to Children in the Second Degree (three counts) under OCGA 16-5-70(c): Three counts, one for each child-[REDACTED] (age 8), [REDACTED] (age 2), and [REDACTED] (age 5). Ms. Woods left her three children unattended in a vehicle that contained a dangerous controlled substance loose on the floorboard and a loaded firearm with a round chambered, no safety engaged, no container, and no holster, all within reach of the children.

CHARGES AGAINST MR. CHRISTOPHER SAPP:

Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine under OCGA 16-13-30(b):

This charge is based on the 27.7 grams of methamphetamine seized during this investigation. Officers observed Mr. Sapp exiting the passenger seat, placing him above the methamphetamine located on the passenger-side floorboard and the black drawstring bag containing drug-related objects. One of the bags of methamphetamine was found on the ground outside the passenger-side door he was observed stepping out of, and the three bags of methamphetamine totaling 13.1 grams were found in the blue drawstring bag he attempted to conceal beneath his foot.

Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance (Cocaine) under OCGA 16-13-30(a): This charge is based on the 0.4 grams of cocaine located in the blue drawstring bag that was found underneath Mr. Sapp’s foot.

Tampering with Evidence under OCGA 16-10-94: This charge is based on Mr. Sapp placing his foot on the blue drawstring bag and attempting to conceal it from Officer Morrison. This act was recorded on Officer Morrison’s body camera.

Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon under OCGA 16-11-131: This charge is based on the loaded SCCY CPX-1 9mm handgun located within Mr. Sapp’s reach in the passenger-side floorboard area. Mr. Sapp was convicted of Aggravated Assault as a first offender on April 11, 2014, making him a convicted felon prohibited from possessing firearms.

Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of Certain Crimes under OCGA 16-11-106: This charge is based on the loaded firearm being within Mr. Sapp’s reach during the possession of controlled substances.

Theft by Receiving Stolen Property (Felony) under OCGA 16-8-7: This charge is based on the stolen SCCY CPX-1 9mm handgun (serial number C5649926), confirmed stolen through Chatham County, which was located within Mr. Sapp’s reach. The charge is a felony due to the property being a firearm.

Possession of Drug-Related Objects under OCGA 16-13-32.2: This charge is based on the packaging materials, dietary supplements used as cutting agents, and electronic scale with residue located in the black drawstring bag in the passenger-side floorboard where Mr. Sapp had been seated.
