Maryville, TN (WOKI) A Maryville man is facing several charges following an investigation into alleged drug sales out of a home in Blount County.
Officials with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office say 27-year-old Jamel Daion Mathis was arrested during a search of a home in the 200 block of Seals Crossing Way.
BCSO reports investigators seized more than two pounds of marijuana as well as THC edibles and other THC-related products, a firearm, and over $2,300 in cash.
Mathis is charged with possession of a Schedule VI substance for resale, maintaining a dwelling where drugs are used or sold, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. He is being held at the Blount County Correctional Facility on bonds totaling $15,000, pending a court hearing on July 23.
The investigation into Mathis began after complaints were made to the Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force that Mathis was distributing marijuana and THC products to juveniles and others.
“The Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force remains committed to working to keep illicit drugs out of Blount County by thoroughly investigating all narcotic and other illicit drug-related complaints,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement released Thursday afternoon.
The Fifth Judicial Drug Task Force is made up of deputies and officers from the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, the Alcoa Police Department and the Maryville Police Department.
