A joint operation led by Sgt. Junior Fields of the Smith County Sheriff’s Office intercepted a planned drug delivery, resulting in an arrest and the seizure of a substantial quantity of Crystal Methamphetamine.
The operation began in early fall when Sgt. Fields made contact with Mr. Ardnas Miles and another occupant of the vehicle at the Gordonsville Pilot. The two individuals were suspected to be as part of a plot to deliver 7.5 grams of Crystal Methamphetamine to Smith County. According to the investigation, Mr. Miles was tasked with delivering the illicit drugs to the Pilot location, where a pre-arranged exchange for $300 in U.S. Currency was set to take place.
Upon approaching Mr. Miles, who was behind the wheel of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro, law enforcement discovered that he was in possession of the entire 7.5 grams of Crystal Methamphetamine. In accordance with Tennessee Asset Forfeiture Laws, the vehicle was seized, as it was registered in Mr. Miles’ name.
Mr. Miles was placed under arrest and transported to the Smith County Sheriff’s Office for processing by Deputy Burl Johnson. The seized methamphetamine was cataloged as evidence and submitted to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for thorough analysis.
