PUTNAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A four-month drug investigation led to an arrest Tuesday morning on Baxter Road.
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division, along with the SWAT team and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, served a search warrant at a home in the 6000 block of Baxter Road on Feb. 24.
Investigators said the operation stemmed from an investigation into the distribution of methamphetamine and fentanyl.
Four adults were found inside the home. Porter Conrad Vance was arrested and faces multiple charges, including manufacturing and selling Schedule I and II drugs, several firearm-related offenses, tampering with evidence, simple possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Vance’s bond is set at $623,500. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 4.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
