Ever wonder if it ’ s worth it ? Then take note ! Recently , at Baldwin SP , one of our many alert and dedicated Perimeter Officers observed a vehicle with its headlights off near the perimeter road . As the Officer approached the vehicle , it fled from the area . GDC K9 , Milledgeville PD and Baldwin County SD were notified and , Baldwin County SD made contact with the vehicle near the facility . A search the of vehicle was conducted and 5 footballs were discovered containing 11 bags of tobacco , 5 cell phones and 1 bundle of cigarettes . Thanks to our rock star , observant Officer , and our local law enforcement partners , the 4 suspects - which included two former offenders currently on Probation - were arrested and transported to Baldwin County Sheriff ’ s Department . So , the answer is – it ’ s not worth it ! And BTW , if you have talent throwing a football , please don ’ t waste it on contraband !
