Forsyth Teens Arrested for Selling Marijuana

Forsyth County Sheriff's Deputies have arrested four local teenagers and charged them Tuesday night for selling marijuana, a news release stated.

A tip from a resident, within a 'Neighborhood Watch' community, was the start of what would become a lengthy investigation resulting in the arrests.

“Multiple undercover buys were made by our undercover narcotics unit during the investigation,” said Sheriff Ted Paxton. “The teenagers were supplying marijuana primarily to the high school age teens and young adults in the South and West Forsyth County area.”

Austin Z. Mauldin, 17, and Tyler C. Fasy, 17, both of Cumming, were charged with the sale of marijuana.

Mauldin turned himself in at the  after deputies attempted to serve a warrant for his arrest at his home. He was also charged with the use of a telecommunication device to commit a felony.

Fasy was arrested at his home.

Also arrested were two 16-year-old juveniles, a male and a female.

The younger teens were served at the female’s home in The Legends subdivision. Both were charged with the sale of marijuana and the use of a telecommunication device to commit a felony.

“These arrests will make a large impact on the drug sales and distribution in the West and South Forsyth area to our teens and young adults,” said Paxton.

According to the news release, no undercover buys took place on any of the school grounds in the county.

Investigators expect to make more arrests while the investigation continues.
