Since the parties were from Newton County, Jasper County Agents contacted the Newton County Narcotics Unit. Both Jasper and Newton Counties then went to a Moss Road location in Newton County and conducted an additional search. The search yielded approximately four ounces of methamphetamine, firearms and cash.
Methamphetamine can be sold for upwards of $100 dollars per gram, which makes the drug worth about $2,800 per ounce.
