We organized the campaign into three main components collaboration, education, and enforcement. We have reached the two-week mark after launching the campaign and would like to update the community on our efforts.

Authorities recovered many suspected illegal narcotics from the residence and his vehicle. Authorities also recovered digital scales, packaging material, and seven firearms.

On June 1, 2022, Deputies arrested Dennis Keen, a 25-year-old male from Cordele, Ga. Crisp County Sheriff’s Deputies pursued Keen after warrants for three counts of aggravated assault and use of a firearm during the commission of a crime were issued for a shooting in the City of Cordele. The investigation led authorities to a hotel in Dooly County.
While executing the arrest warrants, Deputies observed five firearms, suspected illegal narcotics, digital scales, and packaging material. Taylar Spivey, a 26-year-old female from Cordele, Ga, was inside the hotel room when Keen was arrested; as a result, Spivey was also detained. Keen and Spivey both face charges in Dooly County for the possession of suspected illegal narcotics after Deputies obtained a search warrant for the room and found suspected heroin, suspected methamphetamine, suspected cocaine, and suspected fentanyl, and suspected Xanax. Three of the firearms recovered were reported stolen from Top Notch Guns and Ammo in Crisp County.
Cordele Police Department assisted in the investigation. Vienna Police Department and Dooly County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the arrest.
"While our efforts are nowhere near complete, I wanted to reassure citizens that our agency is taking this national epidemic seriously. When we launched this campaign, I said we could not do this alone. Those words remain true today. I urge the community to continue to help us raise awareness. Help save a life," stated Sheriff Billy Hancock.
