The Statesboro-Bulloch Crime Suppression Team arrested six people while conducting search warrants and saturation patrols during the past two days.The team is a recently formed partnership between the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office and Statesboro Police Department, and it targets quality-of-life issues such as drug use and distribution.Investigators with the team rearrested Edward James Rawls, 29, of Baldwin Street, on charges of possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of MDMA (Ecstasy) with intent to distribute and driving while license suspended. The team had arrested him in January and charged him with possession of cocaine when he was found with the cocaine at The Lodge Apartments on Institute Street, according to a Crime Suppression Team news release issued Friday. Rawls is a parolee, and a hold had been placed by his parole officer on his release, the news release says.“Part of CST’s mission is to focus on repeat offenders such as Rawls,” the release says.Crime Suppression Team investigators also served a search warrant at Campus Crossings Apartment on Lanier Drive.
