Police arrested a Savannah man Monday after they say they seized a large amount of crack cocaine from him.
Kendall Owens, 33, was arrested on multiple felony drug-related charges including sale of a controlled substance and trafficking cocaine, said Gene Harley, Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team spokesman.
Earlier this year, CNT agents received information that Owens was selling powder and crack cocaine. CNT opened an investigation into Owens and successfully purchased cocaine from him during the investigation, Harley said.
Following the cocaine purchase, CNT obtained arrest warrants for Owens to include sale of a controlled substance. On Monday, Owens was taken into custody by CNT without incident, Harley said. Also Monday, CNT conducted a search of Owens’ residence in the 300 block of Lawton Avenue, where agents seized a trafficking amount of crack cocaine, items commonly utilized in the distribution of controlled substances and more than $900 in U.S. currency, Harley said. Two vehicles were also seized.
Owens was being held at the Chatham County jail.
