Several people are in custody following a joint operation between the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team (CNT) and the Georgia State Patrol (GSP).

"Early Sunday morning, GSP attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a truck believed to be stolen on Ogeechee Road. The vehicle fled from troopers and was disabled a short time later. A total of three persons fled from the vehicle on foot and all three were quickly taken into custody without incident," says a CNT spokesperson.

A search of the vehicle and persons resulted in the seizure of a trafficking amount of cocaine, ecstasy, a large amount of marijuana, and items commonly associated with the distribution of controlled substances. Two firearms were recovered and both were found to be stolen. More than $4,000 in US currency was also seized.

CNT arrested 30-year-old Javonn Brybon, 27-year-old Hakeem Campbell, and 36-year-old Amari Sams, all of Savannah. All three are charged with multiple felony drug, weapons and other related charges and remain in the Chatham County Detention Center.
