MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Waycross, Ga., man wanted on a gun charge was arrested July 10 and now faces more charges.
Colquitt County investigators had an arrest warrant for Michael Montane Blakely, 29, on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Officers found him at a convenience store on West Central Avenue in Moultrie, sheriff’s Inv. Keith Newman said on Thursday.
Blakely was found in possession of another gun, Newman said, as well as a quantity of THC wax.
THC wax is a waxy substance created when marijuana is heated, and it’s a Schedule I controlled substance.
In addition to the original charge, Blakely has now been charged with a second count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon plus possession of a Schedule I drug and possession of a firearm while committing a crime.
