DCSO Makes Marijuana Bust

Submitted by Decatur County Sheriff’s Office

On Thursday, August 27, 2020, after receiving information that Carlton Kellett was trafficking large amounts of marijuana in Decatur County, Investigator Adam Mobley and Investigator Justin Kelly began conducting surveillance on one of Carlton’s residences on Newton Road. Inv. Mobley conducted a traffic stop on Carlton, shortly after he left that residence. Inv. Mobley, Inv. Kelly, and Inv. Vincent Edmond conducted a search of Carlton’s vehicle and located a quantity of marijuana inside his vehicle, Carlton was then taken into custody. At that same time, Inv. Terry Phillips and Crime Scene Technician Tommy Johnson were securing the residence on Newton Road. Investigators then wrote a search warrant for that residence and discovered approximately 5 pounds of Marijuana, packaging equipment, firearms, and a marijuana grow inside. Carlton’s father, Paxton Kellett and his girlfriend, Caroline Kelly were arrested on scene. Decatur County Investigators did not stop there and later assisted a Florida agency in locating approximately 30 pounds of Marijuana and $62,000 in cash, which were related to their case. A few days later, Carlton’s girlfriend, Samantha Lush and Carlton’s mother, Tracey Kellett, were also arrested for Conspiracy to Commit a Crime.

  1. Congrats to the cops for taking an insignificant amount of a harmless plant off the street. Im sure ruining these peoples lives over something sold legally all over the country will really help the rest of us live a better quality of life.

    1. Thank-you for your support! This entire situation is sickening. They fail to mention the ‘investigation’ consisted of using immediate family against immediate family members with NO concern to meaning of FAMILY!!

      And FYI my legal name is Tracy Bufford not the name as they have me as(they literally refused to correct my name and even instructed me to sign the name they had on the paper.)

    2. You sound like all the other weed heads! It’s a starter drug idiot. No one cars that it comes from a plant. Poison Ivy is a plant, why don’t you go play in some.

      1. ‘Poison’ ivy is just that a POISON! Now who’s the idiot!! I doubt the FDA would approve ingesting the plant you compared to one that they in fact have approved for medicinal purposes.

      2. Brandy, first you should mind your own business and stay out of others. Your view on the situation is of no concern because you were not directly involved. Second, you are very shallow minded my dear. The world is evolving everyday and its left you behind. At the present, congress is voting on wheter to make marijuana legal so to say.

    3. In my opinion offering a ‘deal’ to an immediate family member was unethical. Causing what was once known as family values to be broken. Forced Betrayal is pathetic!!

  2. I smoke as much weed as I want everyday. It’s more important than the second amendment.
    Besides, what are you gonna do with you guns anyway. Have some more donuts and McDonald’s and figure out who needs protecting. It’s you, you idiots. Read a book.
    You’re a pathetic sucker. Not a patriot.
    Disgusting cops
