MOULTRIE, Ga. — Moultrie Police Department arrested a man officers said was in possession of a stolen firearm and cocaine early this month.

Zachery Arthur Smith, 28, 820 Sixth St. S.E., was arrested May 2 after the MPD served a search warrant at his home, according to 1st Sgt. Justin Lindsay of the Criminal Investigation Division. 

“Officers responded to a 9-1-1 report of a disturbance at the home of Smith,” stated Lindsay. “Due to the nature of the 9-1-1 call we knew there was a firearm involved.”

Along with the gun, an undisclosed amount of cocaine was found. Smith had previously been convicted of aggravated assault in Colquitt County.

Smith was charged May 4 with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, theft by receiving stolen property and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
