According to the Bibb Sheriff’s Office, investigators with Bibb County, the Department of Homeland Security and USPS Postal Inspectors executed a search warrant at a home in the 2600-block of Andy Drive in east Macon.

During the search, a crude chemical lab was found that was ‘set up in attempts to make what appeared to be ecstasy.’
41-year-old Tavern Downing Sr. was charged with trafficking a schedule I substance and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
