The Guilford County Sheriff’s Department reported on Monday, Aug. 10 that, on July 21, 2026, the Guilford County Narcotics Task Force finished up a drug ring investigation that culminated in the execution of a search warrant at 8091 Chilcutt Drive in Browns Summit.
Where they found a very large sum of cash and some other interesting items.
The search warrant resulted in the seizure of :
- Four firearms
- Approximately 31,000 grams of marijuana (about 67 pounds)
- $228,117 in US currency.
Gavin Blake Thomas, 22, and Tanner James Crowder, 23, were both arrested in connection with the items. They were both charged with two counts of Felony Trafficking Marijuana and one count of Felony Maintaining a Dwelling/Vehicle for a Controlled Substance.
Thomas received a $25,000 secured bond, while Crowder got a $50,000 secured bond.
Both men have since been released from custody.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the Guilford County Narcotics Task Force is a collaborative effort between the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, Greensboro Police Department, NC State Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Bail? I guess that 228M came in handy for unexpected expenses.
A $25,000 and $50,000 secured bond for these criminals. It’s my understanding when these two individuals fail to appear in court the Guilford County Sheriff’s Dept. will benefit with the seizure of this bail money; as well as the $228,117 cash confiscated? Appears to be a scam to me and not effective Law and Judicial enforcement for our citizens? More Cowboy hats for Danny Rogers and his deputies? Meanwhile, statistics indicate 12 people in North Carolina die every day due to Drug overdoses! This is sickening!
A death due to an overdose is death by distribution. In other words, murder committed by a drug dealer.
Just another judge soft on crime. What a joke.
Not a judge, a magistrate
Unfortunately the state legislature are the ones who set guidelines for the bail. Congrats to the task force for removing this trash from the streets in our county.
if he had ‘netted’ 64# of fine fish to sell he could have honorably, profitably, morally lived among us. goodby
