The Evergreen Police Department arrested two people this week in connection with a monthslong drug investigation, adding to a growing list of trafficking-related charges tied to the department’s ongoing crackdown.
Search Warrant Leads to New Charges
Evergreen PD’s Narcotics Division, along with the department’s Investigations and Patrol divisions, served a search warrant early Friday morning at a home in the 900 block of Jerusalem Church Road as part of the department’s ongoing Operation Cold Summer investigation.
Two people are now facing multiple charges as a result of the raid. Theo Cobb, 39, was charged with trafficking fentanyl, trafficking synthetic cannabinoids, trafficking methamphetamine, first-degree unlawful possession of marijuana, unlawful possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, unlawful possession of MDMA, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, being a certain person forbidden to possess a firearm, and chemical endangerment of a child. Adrianna Stewart, 32, was charged with chemical endangerment of a child and second-degree unlawful possession of marijuana.
Police said officers seized synthetic cannabinoids, a methamphetamine and fentanyl mixture, marijuana, crack cocaine, MDMA/ecstasy, ammunition described as “300 Blackout,” an AR-pistol, and $3,833 in cash during the search.
Bond Set for Both Suspects
Both Cobb and Stewart were booked into the Conecuh County Jail following their arrests. Stewart is being held on an $18,000 bond, while Cobb is held on a significantly higher $1,668,000 bond, reflecting the trafficking-level quantities involved in the case.
The Conecuh County EMS, the Conecuh County Sheriff’s Office and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted Evergreen police in executing Friday’s search warrant.
Investigation Now Spans 14 Arrests
Evergreen police said Operation Cold Summer has now resulted in 14 arrests tied to drug trafficking, drug distribution and several related charges since the investigation began earlier this summer. The operation is one of the more significant sustained narcotics enforcement efforts in Conecuh County in recent years, and police have indicated the investigation remains active, raising the possibility of further arrests as the case continues.
