AUGUSTA, GA — Seven individuals were arrested on July 8, 2025, after the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a residence in the 2600 block of Brookshire Drive, recovering drugs, weapons, and a stolen motorcycle.
At approximately 5:59 p.m., Sergeant Perkins, Investigator Kervin, Chief Blanchard, and members of the Road Patrol and Crime Suppression Team (CST) conducted the search, which resulted in the seizure of approximately 22 grams of methamphetamine, 25 grams of marijuana, three handguns, and a stolen Can-Am Spider motorcycle.
The following individuals were taken into custody:
- Marquise Walker
- Berten Blockett
- Samaj Walton
- Xavier Hatcher
- Jalen Willett
- Kevontae Jenkins
- Amiya Graham
Six of the individuals—Walker, Blockett, Walton, Hatcher, Willett, and Jenkins—were charged with:
- Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute
- Possession of Marijuana
- Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime
Blockett and Jenkins also face additional charges of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Amiya Graham was charged with Disorderly Conduct.
During the operation, Marquise Walker was found wearing a necklace believed to have been stolen during a robbery involving Xavion Wimberly, who was fatally injured in a hit-and-run. Walker claimed he found the necklace on Deans Bridge Road near the site of the incident. Wimberly’s father positively identified the necklace, leading to an additional charge of Felony Theft by Taking against Walker.
The operation was conducted in collaboration with the Burke County Sheriff’s Office.

By building partnerships across the CSRA, we will reduce crime and create safer communities for all our citizens.”
