The Wilkinson County Sheriff's Office knew they were on the way from Milledgeville.
When Matthew Scott Cameron, 48, and Annie Caroline Collins, 21, pulled into the Lakeside Mart in Ivey on Aug. 2, that's when the WCSO moved in. Their vehicle was searched, and the couple ultimately was arrested and charged with drug trafficking.
All totaled, each was charged with one count each of trafficking, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, as well as possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Cameron and Collins were both listed with Milledgeville addresses.
Recovered was 180.8 grams of crystal meth and two handguns – a Smith & Wesson .380 and a Glock 35 – according to Investigator Rod Chatman with the WCSO.
"It's the biggest bust that we've executed in a while," Chatman said. "You'd have to go back to 2020.:
The WCSO "received a tip from someone that Mr. Cameron and Ms. Collins were coming from Milledgeville to Wilkinson County trying to distribute drugs," according to Chatman.
Lt. Lee Greene, knowing that Cameron already had an outstanding warrant, spotted the vehicle in the convenience store parking lot and moved in. The Aug. 2 bust resulted in Camerson and Collins being arrested without incident.
The couple was indicted two weeks later by a Wilkinson County grand jury. Cameron appears to be facing an uphill legal battle. At the time of his arrest earlier the month, he already was out on bond following a 2020 arrest for drug trafficking and firearms charges in Wilco. Camerson was indicted following the 2020 arrest in the summer of 2021, but Cameron then dropped his lawyer, Carl Cansino, and the case became bogged down.

Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 90 and low of 72 degrees. Partly Cloudy for the morning, clear overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
