Police: man who sold drugs to kids faces more chargesBy JOHN
MUNFORD
Police have filed additional charges against a man accused of selling drugs and alcohol to youngsters in Peachtree City. Paul Hagan III, 39, was charged last week with two more counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after police interviewed two more juveniles who he allegedly sold the goods to. Peachtree City Police Chief James Murray said Hagan sold the majority of the contraband from his home on Swanson Ridge. Some of the alcohol was sold at Brandon's Package Store, and some of the sales were near a playground on the south end of the Smokerise subdivision in some cases, police said. "I think we can put up an out-of-business sign up at his house," Murray said. Hagan was originally charged with selling drugs within 1,000 feet of a park in addition to selling a controlled substance, possession of a schedule II drug and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. According to warrants for his most recent arrest, Hagan sold one of the latest victims drugs such as methodone and xanax in addition to alcohol and cigarettes. Hagan sold alcohol and cigarettes only to the second latest victim, warrants said. Police have identified a total of five victims so far and are trying to identify others, Murray said. We're still working the case," Murray said. "We think there are more victims."
