Coffee County Narcotics Units Strike Meth Supply; Two Arrested on Trafficking Charges

COFFEE COUNTY, GA — Enforcement operations by the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office Drug Interdiction and Criminal Enforcement (D.I.C.E.) Unit and the Douglas-Coffee Drug Unit (DCDU) resulted in the arrest of two individuals on felony methamphetamine trafficking charges. 

The first operation occurred on September 8, 2026, when D.I.C.E. Unit deputies initiated a routine traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Cameron Dale Pierce following an improper turn. Upon detecting indicators of criminal activity, deputies conducted an on-scene investigation and discovered suspected methamphetamine in Pierce's possession, prompting immediate assistance from DCDU narcotics agents. A subsequent search yielded more than 28 grams of suspected methamphetamine alongside additional controlled substances. Pierce was taken into custody and charged with Trafficking in Methamphetamine (O.C.G.A. Section 16-13-31) and Possession of Controlled Substances (O.C.G.A. Section 16-13-30). Under Georgia law, the possession or transport of 28 grams or more of methamphetamine automatically elevates the offense to a trafficking charge.

Three days later, on September 11, 2026, DCDU agents executed a targeted search warrant at a residence within the Northside Mobile Home Park. During the operation, agents encountered Sheila Dunn, who was found in possession of suspected methamphetamine. Dunn was arrested without incident and charged with Trafficking in Methamphetamine (O.C.G.A. Section 16-13-31) and Violation of Probation (O.C.G.A. Section 42-8-38). Both Pierce and Dunn currently remain in custody at the Coffee County Jail awaiting judicial proceedings.

Following these operations, the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office issued an urgent public safety warning regarding the extreme hazards of illicit methamphetamine. Beyond its severe biological risks, including high potential for stroke, heart attack, and fatal overdose, street-level methamphetamine is increasingly contaminated with lethal synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Law enforcement officials emphasize that harm-reduction tools like naloxone (Narcan) only reverse opioid toxicity; they do not reverse a stimulant overdose caused by methamphetamine, leaving users exposed to severe biological trauma even when medical interventions are attempted.

"Methamphetamine destroys lives, tears families apart, and threatens the safety of our neighborhoods," said the Sheriff's Office in a statement accompanying the arrests. "Our message to those manufacturing, transporting, or selling these substances in Coffee County is simple: stop. Working alongside the Douglas Police Department, our specialized units will continue to aggressively identify, investigate, and dismantle drug operations across our jurisdiction. Coffee County is not a safe haven for illegal narcotics."

The Sheriff’s Office urges anyone struggling with addiction to seek professional treatment resources immediately. Members of the community with information regarding illegal drug activity are encouraged to contact the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office or the Douglas-Coffee Drug Unit.

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
