ANDERSONVILLE — Four more individuals have been arrested in relation to the drug/robbery/kidnapping case in Andersonville on July 14.
Quinton Farrell Wilson, 24, of 129 Swisher Road, Americus was arrested Wednesday and charged with kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault and conspiracy to distribute marijuana. He was jailed.
According to a press release from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office investigations division, shortly after the arrest, a search was conducted at a home in which Wilson was seen leaving prior to his arrest on Wednesday. At the residence, authorities seized crack cocaine valued at $18,700, weapons and cash. Assisting in the search was the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia Bureau of Investigations GBI Region 15 and the Americus Police Department.
Additional warrants for trafficking in cocaine and firearms violations will be issued in the future against Wilson.
This arrest stems from a July 14 incident in Andersonville that is being investigated as a narcotic, assault and kidnapping case.
Four other individuals were arrested on Thursday. Sumter County Sheriff Pete Smith said Roy Kell Hurley and Leroy Bethel are both charged with kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault and conspiracy to distribute marijuana while Felicia Hurley is charged with obstruction of officers and giving false statements in relation to the arrests of the two men. All three were jailed. Smith said all three are from the Swisher Road area.
Sumter Sheriff Pete Smith said that approximately eight arrest warrants are still pending in this case. The DEA Columbus Regional Office has agreed to assist in the Federal prosecution of Wilson in the Middle District Courts in reference to the narcotics and weapons charges.
The sheriff extends his “greatest appreciation” to the participating agencies for their assistance in this case.
