GUYTON, Ga. — A months-long investigation by the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office Drug Suppression Unit led to a major drug bust Tuesday after a search warrant was executed at a home on Old Lake Road in Guyton.

Deputies seized more than 4,800 grams (roughly 10.5 pounds) of a substance believed to be Ketamine, along with nearly 1,000 THC vape products, 70 grams of suspected Ecstasy, LSD, several ounces of marijuana, a firearm, and approximately 50 pounds of THC-infused edibles.

Investigators arrested 46-year-old Christina Swaggert at the scene. She is facing multiple felony charges, including:

  • Two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute

  • Possession of a Schedule I controlled substance

  • Felony possession of marijuana

  • Possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony

The sheriff’s office said no additional arrests are expected in connection with this case.
