For the past several months, the Northwest Georgia Drug Task Force has been investigating a homeowner who lived on Tolbert Road in Rockmart.
Investigators say evidence obtained led them to believe the homeowner was using his cartel connections to buy drugs to sell in Haralson County.
On Friday, the NWGDTF served a search warrant at the home on Tolbert Road.
Officials said they found four and a half pounds of methamphetamine, several nonprescribed schedule four prescription pills, scales, baggies, smoking devices and other drug trafficking paraphernalia along with a gun.
