Undercover Operation in Grand Junction Results in Seizure of Illegal Narcotics
According to the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Office, an undercover operation was conducted on Tuesday January 21, 2025, in conjunction with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Postal Inspectors Office into illegal narcotics being sent to a residence in Hardeman County. Through this investigative process, deputies and agents were able to obtain search warrants for the residence of 1990 Highway 57 East in Grand Junction, Tennessee 38039. Deputies and agents recovered about 12 pounds of marijuana, an undisclosed amount of Schedule II narcotics, a cash counting machine, and a plethora of drug paraphernalia used in the sale and delivery of narcotics.
Santannia Robertson, age 34, is charged with Possession of Schedule II with Intent to Deliver, Possession of Schedule VI with Intent to Deliver, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Possession of a Legend Drug without a Prescription. Ms. Robertson’s bond has been set at $50,000. Andell Lewis, age 27, is charged with Delivery of Schedule VI and Simple Possession of Marijuana. Mr. Lewis’ bond has been set at $25,000.
“I am grateful Sheriff Doolen has entrusted me with the important job of working toward keeping our streets and our schools safe from drug,” said narcotics investigator Steven Stanley. “A lot of folks believe that marijuana is not that big of a deal, but when dealers are causing marijuana and other drugs to infiltrate our kids in the school atmosphere, everyone of us should be concerned for their safety. No matter how any of us feel about the possession and use of marijuana, it’s still illegal in Tennessee and every other state in the amounts we recovered from one residence.”
