: The Cartersville Police Department launched an investigation after receiving information about the alleged sale of crack co***ne at 51 Ridge Row. During the investigation, detectives determined that 47-year-old Jarrod Kenta Sheppard was allegedly distributing significant quantities of crack co***ne from his apartment.

Authorities say this type of criminal activity not only puts other residents of the apartment complex at risk, but also occurred within 1,000 feet of a Housing Authority property, resulting in enhanced charges.

According to investigators, Sheppard was found in possession of approximately one ounce of crack co***ne at the time of his arrest. A subsequent search warrant executed at the residence led to the discovery of an additional quarter kilogram of crack co***ne, an amount investigators say is commonly associated with supplying street-level dealers rather than personal use.

Charges Filed Against Jarrod Kenta Sheppard:

▪️ Trafficking in Co***ne
▪️ Possession with Intent to Distribute Co***ne Within 1,000 Feet of a Housing Authority
▪️ Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
▪️ Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony
▪️ Willful Obstruction of Law Enforcement Officers

Campbell was arrested and charged with the following offenses:

* Possession of Co***ne with Intent to Distribute
