A major narcotics operation was shut down Wednesday afternoon when deputies executed a search warrant at a home on Fairington Drive in Hephzibah, seizing more than 30 pounds of illegal drugs and arresting two suspects.
Deputies arrived at 3837 Fairington Drive at 2:07 p.m. when investigators say they found Robert Seymore, 34, and Qwintera Martin, 32. Both were taken into custody on charges including trafficking meth and cocaine, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of oxycodone with intent to distribute.
Inside the residence, deputies recovered approximately 27 pounds of methamphetamine, over a pound of cocaine, 1.67 pounds of marijuana, and 178 oxycodone pills. The seizure marks a significant disruption to local drug distribution networks and one of the larger hauls the department has made this year.
The bust adds to a string of major narcotics seizures in Richmond County throughout 2025. In June, deputies carried out what they called the largest meth seizure in county history, taking in more than 44 pounds of meth along with a massive quantity of fentanyl that officials warned could have caused mass casualties had it reached the streets. Another multi-agency sweep later in the year brought in more than 30 pounds of meth and fentanyl tied to a trafficking network operating throughout the CSRA.
“Our goal is to relentlessly pursue those who poison our neighborhoods with these deadly substances,” Sheriff Eigene Brantley said in June.
The continued operations are part of a sustained effort to dismantle high-volume drug rings linked to overdoses, violent crime and community instability. The investigation into the Fairington Drive operation remains active, and officials have not said whether additional arrests are expected.
