From BCSO:

During the months of November and December of 2024, the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office Crime Suppression Team along with the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) were involved in an investigation of subjects trafficking suspected narcotics across the United States. After approximately a month’s long investigation it was discovered that Taylor Jackson (Ellabell, GA) and Steven Kimbrell (Ludowici, GA) were traveling to Los Angles California to purchase large amounts of narcotics. After the purchase was completed, the narcotics were being transported back to Bulloch County for sale and distribution.

After numerous man hours were spent by multiple agencies tracking and surveilling Jackson and Kimbrell across the country, it was discovered that more than 150 pounds of marijuana and Schedule I narcotics were to be delivered to Statesboro GA. On 12 December 2024. The vehicle owned and operated by the two subjects was intercepted inside the City Limits of Statesboro by the Crime Suppression Team along with the assistance of DEA Special Agents. Taylor Jackson was taken into custody along with another subject who was identified as John Shannon (Ellabell, GA). Steven Kimbrell was located two days later in the area of Long County where he was taken into custody by Long County Sheriff’s Office deputies and later transported to Bulloch County. Further investigation of John Shannon uncovered an additional 8 pounds of marijuana and Schedule I narcotics prepared for distribution that were seized by the Bulloch County Crime Suppression Team. All three subjects are currently housed at the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office where they await court proceedings.

Sheriff Noel Brown would like to thank the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Department of Homeland Security and Long County Sheriff’s Office for their efforts, cooperation, and assistance throughout this investigation. Anyone with any information in reference to this case is encouraged to contact Investigator Donald T. White or Investigator Brandon Miller of the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office.
