Newly Formed Joint Task Force Nets Arrest and Ninety Pounds of Marijuana
March 03, 2021
The Tallahassee Police Department recently received a tip regarding a suspect trafficking large amounts of illegal narcotics. As the investigation unfolded, it was determined the suspect was known to law enforcement and had a prior arrest less than six months ago. At that time, the suspect was found to be in possession of approximately 50 pounds of marijuana. The continued investigation revealed the previous arrest did not deter the suspect from his criminal activities.
On Feb. 28, investigators learned the suspect traveled to Los Angeles, Calif., and less than 24 hours later returned to Florida. Probable cause was developed and a search warrant obtained for the suspect’s residence in the 400 block of Georgetown Drive. The search yielded more than 90 pounds of cannabis, a handgun and more than $7,000 in cash.
This investigation is part of the newly formed joint task force High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. The task force aims to combat the trafficking and distribution of illegal drugs in the community. The arrest in this case was the result of collaborative efforts between the Tallahassee Police Department, Leon County Sheriff’s Office and Homeland Security Investigations.
If you see illegal activity, you are urged to report it by calling TPD at 850-891-4200. You can also remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS.
Arrested:
Zachary B. Kidd, 29, for trafficking in cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia.
