Major Drug Bust in Macon; Man Arrested After Search Warrant Uncovers Guns, Drugs and Cash

MACON, Ga. – A 24-year-old man is facing multiple charges after investigators seized firearms, narcotics and cash during the execution of a search warrant at an apartment in northwest Macon, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.

The arrest occurred on Jan. 28, 2026, when investigators with the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Drug Unit and Gang Unit, assisted by the U.S. Marshals Service, executed a search warrant at an apartment in the 4000 block of Arkwright Road.

According to a sheriff’s office report, investigators recovered a Glock 30 handgun, a stolen Sig Sauer 9mm handgun, more than two pounds of marijuana, approximately 1.5 ounces of suspected ecstasy, three grams of cocaine, a digital scale, packaging materials, 49 oxycodone pills and a large amount of U.S. currency.

Authorities said the warrant stemmed from a prior incident in which investigators discovered 11 pounds of marijuana inside a vehicle the suspect was driving. The report states the suspect fled on foot during a traffic stop near Brentwood Avenue, leaving the vehicle behind.

The suspect, identified as Eric De’Voryia Bowden, 24, was taken into custody and transported to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center. He faces numerous charges related to narcotics trafficking and weapons offenses.

Bowden’s bond was set at $4,050.
