Polk County Police charged a pair with drug possession and took a third person into custody on a warrant after a call came into 911 about an overdose call, and then another trying to cancel the response.
However officials still showed up to a Rockmart-area residence around 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, February 2 and found methamphetamine and crushed up Diazepam, along with other medications according to reports.
Police took Timothy Chais Latimer, 34, of an Austell address, into custody first after he was found to have a warrant for his arrest and was wanted, so he was cuffed and taken onward to the Polk County Jail for processing.
After EMS checked out Willie Lee Sprayberry, 50, and he refused treatment, police began to catalog what was inside the residence alongside Christy Dawn Bellflower, 39 – both of the Rockmart address.
Police found several substances – erectile dysfunction medication and sleeping medication, a glass vial of a “blueish/purple substance” that was unidentified, plus methamphetamine and Diazepam.
Officers took the drugs into evidence and disposed of some of what they found in the pill disposal box at the Sheriff’s Office for destruction, while others were being sent off to labs for testing.
Following the incident, police decided to take out warrants for Sprayberry and Bellflower.
Sprayberry was charged and later booked into jail just after midnight on Monday on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance. He was released on a $6,000 bond on the felony charges.
Bellflower had not yet been booked into custody as of this posting on the same felony charges.
Laitmer was later released to the custody of Paulding County, who sought him on warrants. He faces a trafficking charge and was being held without bond after he was booked into the Paulding County Detention Center on Monday.
