“When we pulled up to check on the trailer, we wound up in the middle of a drug transaction,” Ravenell said. “The end result is the seizure of several types of narcotics and drug paraphernalia.”
Deputies said as they approached an outbuilding, investigators observed a man hanging over a bag to another man a bag. Later, investigators found that bag contained marijuana.
