An investigation into a man buying and selling Oxycodone and other medications has ended with nearly two dozen people facing drug charges.
The Butts County Sheriff’s Office says they have charged 22 people and issued more than 100 warrants as part of “Operation Oxy Moron.”

Authorities say the investigation circled around Reynard Stewart of Jackson, who they say bought prescriptions from people and then redistributed them.
They say Stewart obtained Oxycodone, Adderall, Xanax, cocaine, marijuana and fentanyl.
Financial records indicated that since the beginning of the year, one person has spent $36,000 with Stewart.
Butts County deputies say they partnered with the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office, who served a warrant at a home in Griffin that had previously been involved in drug investigations. There they found several pounds of marijuana and guns.
“This case is about more than just illegal drugs—it’s about the lives they impact,” Butts County Sheriff Gary Long wrote in a statement. “Addiction is a sickness, and it sickens me to see deadbeat drug dealers profiting from the illness of these addicts.”
