An investigator from the Criminal Investigations Division was conducting a property check at an address on Sitton Mill Road nears Seneca in regards to an ongoing burglary investigation. After arriving on scene, the deputy discovered a vehicle on scene identified as a suspect vehicle based on evidence obtained during the investigation. The investigator requested additional units to respond to his location.

The deputy located one subject, identified as Martin, inside of the vehicle and located another subject, identified as Driver; exit a dwelling on the property. The investigator detained both subjects while also hearing noise inside of the dwelling indicating additional subjects inside. The subjects appeared to have fled from the scene out of a door of the dwelling. The investigator did not locate anyone else inside.

Based on evidence obtained during the investigation, investigators located the additional subjects, Cleveland and Mize, at a separate location. Both subjects were brought back to the property.

All of the subjects were placed under arrest and were transported to the Oconee County Detention Center. Before being transported from the scene, deputies discovered a quantity of narcotics on the person of Driver.

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is continuing with its investigation.
