SCOTTSBORO, Ala. – Five ounces of suspected opium was seized when Jackson County, Ala., narcotics officers raided a Flat Rock home Friday.
In a news release, Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen called it “kind of an interesting case,” adding, “we don’t see much opium around here.”
He said officers executed a search warrant at a home on County Road 756, seizing 8 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia along with the suspected opium.
Four people were charged with trafficking in opium and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. They are Felicia Diane Pope, 27, of Bryant, Ala.; and Alisha Larue Fay, 24; Chase Zane Goolsby, 25; and Ronald Earnest Pick Jr., 31, all of Flat Rock. All were being held on $55,000 bonds.
A small child in the home was handed over to the Department of Human Resources, Harnen said.
