Cobb County Man Arrested for Selling Drugs to High School Students in Paulding County
Marc Daniel Yero, 31, of Cobb County, GA, has been arrested on charges related to selling THC vapes and LSD to high school students.
The arrest, which occurred on December 30, 2024, followed a three-month investigation by the Northwest Georgia Drug Task Force (NWGDTF) and the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Crime Suppression Unit (CSU). The investigation was initiated based on an anonymous tip.
Agents confirmed that Yero was selling THC vapes and LSD primarily to high school-aged children. He was arrested during a traffic stop conducted by the CSU, which yielded additional THC vapes and approximately $1,200 in cash.
Yero has been charged with:
- Three counts of Possession of a Schedule I Substance with Intent to Distribute
- One count of Possession of a Schedule I Substance
- Additional charges are pending.
“This arrest was made possible because of the information received from a source who wished to remain anonymous. We can’t do it alone. Knowing the hard work of our Task Force Agents and Deputies is keeping this poison off the streets and out of the hands of our high school kids is extremely rewarding,” stated Northwest Georgia Drug Task Force Commander Steven Sweatt.
Sheriff Ashley Henson emphasized the commitment to student safety, stating, “The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office is committed to ensuring that our students are safe and protected. Individuals like Mr. Yero have no place on our streets soliciting drugs to children.”
The NWGDTF encourages citizens to report drug-related information by calling (770) 646-9175 or submitting a report through the Paulding Sheriff mobile app. Anonymous reports are accepted.
