Calhoun, GA – June 12 — A major methamphetamine conversion operation was shut down Thursday afternoon following an investigation by the Sheriff’s Drug Enforcement Unit.
Detectives began looking into reports of meth trafficking in May, focusing on a residence located at 200 Tara Drive near Calhoun. With support from Probation and Parole officers from the Department of Community Supervision, a search was conducted at the home as part of the ongoing investigation.
Inside the residence, investigators discovered a substantial quantity of both crystal methamphetamine and liquid methamphetamine, along with equipment used to convert liquid meth into its solid, traffickable form. Additional illicit substances—including cocaine and psilocybin mushrooms—were also found.
The home’s occupant, 62-year-old Tracy Van McEntyre, was arrested at the scene. He faces multiple charges, including Manufacturing and Trafficking Methamphetamine, as well as other drug-related offenses. According to jail records, McEntyre has been arrested more than ten times and has at least two prior convictions for drug trafficking.
