Paris, Tenn.–Three pounds of crystal meth, six firearms and a still-undetermined amount of money were confiscated from a home on Chickasaw Rd. in Paris during an operation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Agency, Metro Crime Unit and the Paris Police Department’s FAST team.
A state search warrant was executed at 1407 Chickasaw Road Friday evening. Puryear Police and the Henry Co. Sheriff’s Office also assisted.
According to Paris Police Investigator Derek Colley, during the execution of the search, agents and investigators found some three pounds of suspected crystal meth (‘ice’), six firearms with two possibly being stolen, and an undetermined amount of U.S. currency believed to be from illegal drug proceeds. Investigators seized three vehicles and one motorcycle.
Amber Hoskins, age 38, of the Chickasaw Rd. address, was present during the execution of the warrant and has been arrested for possession of schedule II with intent to sell along with weapons charges.
Hoskins is being currently held on $150,000 bond at the Henry County Jail.
DEA Agents will work with members of the Metro Crime Unit, District Attorney’s Office, Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Federal Western District of Tennessee United States Attorney to further the investigation and look into federally prosecuting Hoskins on Federal trafficking charges.
