| Derrick Jamar Britton |
Etowah County deputies have charged a Gadsden man in
connection to unlawful distribution of heroin.
Investigators say 25-year-old Derrick Jamar Britton is
charged with one count of drug trafficking. Britton was found to be in
possession of more than 15 grams of heroin, with a street value of nearly
$7,000. During an interview with drug task force agents, investigators say
Britton indicated his awareness that several people had overdosed and died from
the drug that he sold.
Britton was also arrested in December 2014 on three counts
of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance. He made bond and was released in February
2015. Two weeks after his discharge a
new warrant was obtained for another count of unlawful distribution, which led
his arrest last week.
He is currently being held in the Etowah County Detention
Center without bond.
