ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. — Authorities in Rockdale County confiscated several illegal weapons and tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of meth and drug paraphernalia on Friday.
Investigators told Channel 2's Richard Elliot that they were running a surveillance operation on John Gray for a couple of months. When they saw him loading boxes into his car, they made their move.
When deputies pulled him over, they say they found the weapons and drugs in his car and at his house.
“Very, very large haul. It’s absolutely wonderful to be able to get all this kind of stuff off the streets” said Michael Meyers, with the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said they were happy to get the drugs and guns off the streets. They believe Gray was a distributor and not the maker.
“He was distributing, without a doubt,” Meyers said.
Gray is in jail facing drug and weapons charges.
