Six people were arrested early Friday morning as multiple units of the Fayette County Sheriff's Office raided four homes in the Shiloh Mobile Home Park on the eastern border of Peachtree City, officials said.

Backed up by the SWAT team and helicopter unit of the sheriff's department, four different homes were raided at the same time, said Lt. Jody Thomas of the Tactical Narcotics Team.

The investigation began with complaints lodged by law-abiding residents of the park, Thomas said.

"Hopefully this will send a clear message to the community that we're there and we will do everything we can to make sure it is a safe and desirable place to live," Thomas said.

The six arrests included:
- Justin M. Caldwell, 20, of Senoia for Possession of a Schedule II Drug, Possession of a Schedule IV Drug, and Possession of a Dangerous Drug.
- Kerry Allison Lynch, 26, of Peachtree City for Possession of a Schedule IV Drug, and Possession of a Dangerous Drug.
- Jack Daniel Wright, 28, of Sharpsburg for Possession of marijuana.
- Katherine Anne Hinson, 21, of Peachtree City for Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of a Schedule IV Drug.
- Amanda Kelly Smith, 21, of Peachtree City for Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of a Schedule IV Drug.
- Brandy Lee Brooks, 30, of Peachtree City for Possession of Marijuana.

Sheriff's deputies, detectives and drug agents took part in the raid along with the SWAT team and helicopter unit, Thomas said.

The investigation was conducted by the Tactical Narcotics Team of the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, which consists of deputies and members of the Fayetteville, Tyrone and Peachtree City police departments. In the raid they were assisted by the sheriff's SWAT team, detectives, the Hawk 1 helicopter unit, K-9 officers and uniform patrol officers, officials said.

In a separate incident Wednesday, TNT agents arrested two people at a shopping center in Fayetteville for selling crystal "ice" methamphetamine to an undercover agent.

Nikki Marie Huckaby, 28, of Luthersville and Michael Allen Almond, 28, of Gay were charged with selling methamphetamine and possession of a schedule IV drug, officials said.

Huckaby and Almond sold a quarter ounce of "ice" methamphetamine to an undercover agent for $445, officials said. Narcotics agents also found 10 xanax pills in their vehicle during a search after the arrests, and Huckaby was charged with possession of methamphetamine after agents found a gram of ice on her person, officials said.

Fayetteville uniformed officers assisted in the operation, Thomas said.

I live in the other community ,Marnelle.. Fayette County has raided this place a few times and cleared out some of the drug using and dealing scum. I hope they hit here again as a show of force one day.

I'm glad they caught some of the scum which has moved there. This used to be a nice park until the "drug crowd" took up roots there. I hope they uprooted them all and this lets everyone else know we are not going to let the scum that these drug people are take over and bring down our home/neighborhood. I hope these low lifes are not able to 'renew' their lot rent either. REMOVE THEIR TRAILORS. NO DRUG PEOPLE WANTED.
P.S. I hope they got the owner of the light blue double wide on the corner. Big "party house".

"Huckaby and Gay sold a quarter ounce of "ice" methamphetamine to an undercover agent for $445, officials said."

So the whole city of Gay was in on it?

I thought the Fayette Daily News set the standard for typographical howlers, but this one was in a class by itself!
