HARLEM, Ga. - A man is in jail after a ten-month undercover drug operation. Columbia County investigators arrested Derrick Boyd at his home in Harlem.

Investigators also searched several other homes Tuesday. More arrests are expected in this ongoing investigation.

The operation was conducted by Columbia County and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Surprised ?? This stuff goes on EVERYWHERE ! I am just shocked to know that it took them 10 months to finally bust this fool. At least one more pusher is off the streets and our children are safe for another day.
