A gun, two vehicles, $1,700 in cash and a variety of drugs were seized during the search of an East Bethel Avenue residence Friday.

MOULTRIE, Ga. — Police chased down three suspects and are seeking a fourth who was able to escape on foot during a Friday raid that netted drugs, a gun and cash at a Moultrie residence.

Agents with the Drug Enforcement Team staffed by Moultrie police and the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office served the search warrant at 104 E. Bethel Ave.

The operation came after an investigation lasting about a month.

Officers “began (the) investigation on the residence after several complaints of illegal drug sales came into the drug unit about the residence,” Sgt. Justin Lindsay said. “The items seized at the residence consisted of marijuana, crack cocaine, ecstasy and methamphetamine. A firearm, sums of money and two vehicles were seized during the operation.”

Digital scales also were found at the residence, Lindsay said.

About one to two pounds of suspected marijuana were seized, along with small amounts of suspected crack cocaine, meth and ecstasy. In addition to $1,700 in cash, officers seized a Honda Accord and a Dodge Durango.

Police will file legal paperwork to gain ownership of the cars, Lindsay said.

Moultrie and Colquitt County officers, as well as agents with the Thomas County Sheriff’s Office Drug Unit, took part in the operation. The three men arrested and charges filed against them are:

• Printiss Donaldson, 28, 22 E. Bethel Ave., possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of ecstasy with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and obstruction of a police officer.

• Ethan Urias Anderson, 22, 505 First Ave., S.W., possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and obstruction of a police officer.

• Rakevious Simpson, 22, 124 13th Ave., Cairo, obstruction of a police officer.

“Everybody that was there ran,” Lindsay said. “Those three were apprehended. The one that got away was the target of the search warrant.”

Police have active arrest warrants for that suspect, 22-year-old Xavien Jamal Kinsey, he said.

“The case is still under investigation,” Lindsay said. “More arrests and charges are possible.”

Police ask that the public report suspected drug activity by calling (229) 616-7460.
