Gilmer County Sheriff Stacy Nicholson said “We are still fighting the war on drugs in Gilmer County” as Gilmer County Sheriff’s Deputies and Detectives raided two homes early Friday morning, March 31st, as part of an ongoing drug investigation. Larry Hill, age 70, was arrested at his residence at 6129 Chatsworth Highway on Friday after the execution of a Search Warrant by the Criminal Investigations Division. He was charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana and Possession of a Schedule One Drug, a highly concentrated THC oil. Weighing scales and a money counter was also confiscated along with almost $31,000 in cash which authorities say are all fruits of the crime of drug distribution. Simultaneously, authorities executed a second Search Warrant at the residence of Larry Hill’s son, Danny Hill, age 51, at 11362 Chatsworth Highway. Authorities confiscated additional processed marijuana and 117 marijuana plants from a multi-stage indoor marijuana growing

operation. Danny Hill was charged with Manufacturing Marijuana and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Other charges related to possession of marijuana will be forthcoming.
