The press release stat- ed that Drug Task Force agents went into the Pace Street address on Feb. 17 looking for drugs and cash. This came after an investigation that began in mid-January into the area which “is historically known for being an open air drug market,” according to the release.
Agents found undisclosed quantities of crack cocaine, ecstasy, controlled medication and a firearm. Officers also found a large amount of U.S. currency.
Zeric and Labrent Walker both remained in jail without bail following denial by the Polk County Magistrate Court. Trimance Walker was still in jail but bond was set at $85,000 before he could be released. Wilson was released on bond.
The Drug Task Force was assisted in the arrests and search by the Cedartown Police, Polk County Police and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
