One is arrested and drugs and cash are seized after a search in Cherokee County.

Sheriff's Deputies executed a search warrant as part of an investigation into suspected drug activity late last week. During the search, methamphetamine with a street value of nearly $20,000.00, was seized. Yesterday evening, the suspect who had evaded law enforcement over the weekend, was taken into custody. 59-year-old Timothy Sargent is being held in the Cherokee County Jail without bond on allegations of distributing methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and marijuana. 

This is the second time this summer Sargent has been arrested. He was arrested after a traffic stop and had methamphetamine and a considerable amount of cash seized at the time of that arrest.
