GBI: Four arrested in central Georgia following drug investigation

MACON, Ga. – The Georgia Bureau of Investigations has arrested four people as part of a multi-agency drug investigation, the GBI said in a news release. They say several months of investigation resulted in three search warrants and authorities seized a large amount of cash and drugs.

The case involved individuals in Wilkinson, Baldwin and Bibb counties.

Four men – Martavious Jamale Moore, 31, Derrick Tyrone Taylor Jr., 26, Tu’aijah Keambre Warren, 28, and Kendall Saulsberry, 32 – were all arrested as part of the drug raid.

It’s said the investigation took several months, but on May 3, the GBI’s Middle Georgia Gang Task Force executed the three search warrants. Two searches took place in Milledgeville and one in Macon.

During the searches, GBI agents likely seized crack cocaine, powder cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana. They also found a large amount of cash.

In the days following the search, the four people were charged with various drug-related offenses.

Moore, a Macon native, was charged with cocaine trafficking.

Taylor and Warren, both from Irwinton, were charged with weapons and drug offenses, including possession of weapons with intent to distribute.

Saulsberry, a Milledgeville native, was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute.

Moore and Saulsberry were arrested and taken to the Baldwin County Jail. Taylor and Warren were booked into the Wilkinson County Jail.

The GBI, Georgia State Patrol and Georgia Department of Corrections were involved in the case. They also worked with local partners in Baldwin, Eatonton, Wilkinson and Putnam counties.

On Wednesday, the GBI also announced another drug arrest. Macon man Tavish Faulks was arrested back in April for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine. They conducted a traffic stop and seized meth, marijuana, weapons and 100 suspected fentanyl pills, according to the GBI.

Both cases were monitored by the Middle Georgia Gang Task Force, which works to combat gang and drug activity in middle and south Georgia.
