A quiet Friday in Haleyville erupted into action as local law enforcement carried out a search warrant that ended with two arrests and a haul of hard drugs and stolen weapons.
Acting on intelligence from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, deputies from Winston County, alongside officers from Haleyville and Bear Creek, stormed the home of Hunter Garrett and Macie Kimbrough.
What they found paints a grim picture: raw fentanyl, nearly 200 pressed fentanyl pills, meth, cocaine packaged for sale, and a mix of stolen and unregistered firearms.
Authorities say the scale of the operation hints at more than just street-level dealing. Cash tied to narcotics sales was also recovered, underscoring a network possibly bigger than the small-town setting suggests.
Friday’s bust highlights the growing pressure on rural communities caught in the crosshairs of America’s synthetic drug crisis. For law enforcement, the raid marks a symbolic stand—quiet streets do not mean quiet crime.
