Pounds Of Weed, Drugged Gummy Bears Seized In Forsyth (ICYMI)

CUMMING, GA — Nearly 40 pounds of marijuana and other drugs — including what were believed to be drug-laced Gummy Bears — were seized recently in what Forsyth County authorities are calling a "significant" bust.

Weapons, including assault rifles, and tens of thousands of dollars in cash also were seized during an Oct. 3 raid, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.

Christopher Walker, 34, of Cumming, was arrested on seven felony charges. The sheriff's office executed a search warrant at Walker's home and says officers found just under 39 pounds of marijuana, Oxycodone, amphetamine, and large amounts of THC oil known as "wax" or "dabs."

Officers also found several bags of Gummy Bears candy they believe to have been laced with drugs. The Gummy Bears were "found alongside children's treats in the refrigerator," the sheriff's office said. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.

The candies were taken to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's crime lab to be tested for narcotics, said sheriff's office spokesman DFC Doug Rainwater.

Officers also seized $63,440 in cash, three assault rifles and two handguns, the sheriff's office said.

Walker is charged with sale of cocaine, possession of amphetamine, trafficking marijuana, possession of THC oil with intent to distribute, possession of Oxycodone, possession of cocaine and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The sheriff's office continues to investigate and more arrests are possible, the office said.
