MISC
NOTICE OF SEIZURE OF
PERSONAL PROPERTY
Pursuant to O.C.G.A. §
9-16-1 et. seq., any party
claiming an interest in the
following property is hereby
notified that the following
property was seized by
the undersigned agency
in Lamar County, Georgia:
ONE THOUSAND SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS
AND THIRTY-FIVE CENTS
($1,750.35) IN UNITED
STATES CURRENCY AND A
1994 FORD MUSTANG (VIN #
1FALP45T2RF128291).
Conduct giving such
rise to said seizure was as
follows: In June of 2021,
Sgt. Keith Kendrick of the
Lamar County Sheriff’s Of
fice began an investigation
regarding drug transactions
at 150 Holmes Street in
Barnesville, Georgia. This
is the residence of Jacob
Standridge. Sgt. Kendrick
received information from a
confidential informant that
Mr. Standridge was selling
methamphetamine from
his residence. Sgt. Kendrick
began surveillance of the
residence on June 28, 2021,
which continued until July
28, 2021. During the surveil
lance period, Sgt. Kendrick
noticed several vehicles
arrive at the residence and
leave within a very short
period of time. Due to
this surveillance and the
information provided by
the confidential informant,
Sgt. Kendrick suspected
that indeed drug transac
tions were taking place at
Mr. Standridge’s residence.
On multiple occasions, Sgt.
Kendrick witnessed Mr.
Standridge arrive at the resi
dence in a 1994 Ford Mus
tang. Moreover, Sgt. Kend
rick, using an undercover
confidential informant, pur
chased methamphetamine
from Mr. Standridge at his
residence on Holmes Street
on July 26, 2021, and also on
August 4, 2021. Sgt. Kend
rick then procured a search
warrant for the residence,
which was served on
August 13, 2021, however,
Mr. Standridge was not
there. He was found at 123
Stafford Avenue in Barnes
ville, Georgia. He arrived
at that location in his 1994
Ford Mustang. He was then
arrested and underneath
his leg on a couch was
found a bag of suspected
methamphetamine, empty
individual plastic baggies,
and suspected hydrocodone
pills in a bottle. Also found
on his person was $1750.35
in cash in numerous
denominations, which is
indicative of money used in
drug transactions. The cash
and vehicle were ultimately
seized by Sgt. Kendrick in
Lamar County on August
13, 2021. Mr. Standridge was
charged with the Sale of
Methamphetamine, Posses
sion of Methamphetamine
with Intent to Distribute and
Distribution of a Controlled
Substance within 1,000 Feet
of a School. Mr. Standridge
currently has pending mul
tiple drug offenses in Lamar
County: Possession of Meth
amphetamine (case number
21C-098) and Possession of
Methamphetamine (case
number 21C-129).
Claimants who may have
an interest in said property
are JACOB STANDRIDGE.
Said property was used in
violation of O.C.G.A. § 9-16-1
et. seq., and 16-13-49 et. seq.
in that the item(s) was/were
used to facilitate the posses
sion, sale, and distribution
of controlled substances
and/or marijuana and/or are
proceeds derived or real
ized therefrom and that said
item was used directly or
indirectly used or intended
for use in any manner to
facilitate a violation of
O.C.G.A. Title 16, or of the
laws of the United States
or of any State relating to
marijuana/controlled sub
stance which is punishable
by imprisonment of more
than one year, and or said
property was found in close
proximity to controlled sub
stances and/or marijuana.
You are further notified
that you may file a claim
within thirty (30) days of
the second publication of
this notice of seizure by

ing law enforcement agency
and to the District Attorney
by certified mail, return

Mr. Barnett, Officer Rainer
could smell the odor of mar
ijuana coming from inside of
the vehicle. Mr. Barnett told
Officer Rainer that he had
smoked marijuana about an
hour earlier. Officer Rainer
then conducted a prob
able cause search of the
vehicle. On Mr. Barnett’s
person was found $5,412.00
in cash and Officer Rainer
also found marijuana inside
of the vehicle. Additionally,
Officer Rainer found a set of
scales and plastic baggies,
both of which are common
paraphernalia used in drug

old child was also in the
vehicle, who was not the
child of Mr. Barnett. Officer
Rainer also found suspected

vehicle. Codeine is a Sched
ule V controlled substance
under Georgia law. Finally, a
