Search Warrant Leads To Drug Arrest

Deputies from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department arrested Deon Jerome Larkins on multiple drugs charges following a search of his home.

Law enforcement executed a search warrant at Larkins’ home on Dixon Lane in reference to the manufacturing, sales, and delivery of fentanyl and methamphetamine. Larkins attempted to destroy some of the drugs during the search by emptying large bags of methamphetamine and a powdery substance down a kitchen sink.

Detectives were able to recover a portion of that evidence and went on to seize at least six different kinds of drugs. Larkins was charged with three counts of manufacture/sale/delivery of a Schedule I drug, manufacture/sale/delivery of methamphetamine, and tampering with evidence, as well as two counts of simple possession.

Drugs seized in the process included fentanyl, methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, ecstasy, suboxone, marijuana. Various drug paraphernalia such as scales were recovered as well. Larkins has a total bond of $114,000 with a court date set for Monday, October 28, 2024.

Larkins was previously arrested on drug charges in Putnam County last February as part of Operation Border Rescue.
