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: SIX
THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS ($6,100.00) IN
UNITED STATES CURRENCY.
Conduct giving such rise
to said seizure was as fol
lows: A bench warrant was
issued for Jeremy Ennis on
November 2, 2021, for his
failure to appear in Lamar
County Superior Court on a
forgery charge. Lamar Coun
ty deputies were notified of
the bench warrant and were
looking for Mr. Ennis. On
November 11, 2021, at ap
proximately 1:30 am, Deputy
Blake Redding of the Lamar
County Sheriff’s Office saw
Mr. Ennis at the Reliable
Mart on Veteran’s Parkway
in Barnesville, Georgia, and
decided to follow Mr. Ennis’
vehicle. Mr. Ennis ran a stop
sign at Grove Street, so Dep.
Redding decided to initiate
a traffic stop, however, Mr.
Ennis drove back to the Reli
able Mart, exited the vehicle
and attempted to flee on
foot. He was subsequently
apprehended. Inside of
the vehicle, Dep. Redding
noticed a firearm on the
driver’s side floor board. A
probable cause search of
the vehicle then took place
and a hidden compartment
was located under the pas
senger side center console
which contained $6,100.00
in cash, a set of scales and
approximately 4 ounces
of methamphetamine. The
amount of cash, the scales
and the suspected metham
phetamine are all consistent
with instrumentalities used
in drug transactions. Mr.
Ennis was arrested and
charged with Trafficking
Methamphetamine and
Possession of a Firearm by
a Convicted Felon because
Mr. Ennis has a felony
conviction from Lamar
County from 2012. Mr. Ennis
also has a pending Traf
ficking Methamphetamine
charge from Upson County,
Georgia, which allegedly
took place on or about May
10, 2021. The cash was
