It’s being called one of the largest drug busts in recent history in Limestone County.

Deputies and SBI agents worked together on the case for more than two months and now, Jeffrey Madry is behind bars facing a list of charges.

After executing a search warrant Monday, deputies found $29,000 in cash, more than 3 pounds of cocaine, meth, marijuana and two handgun.

Investigator Jamie King says with the amount of cocaine they found, this dealer was providing for dozens of other dealers in the county and around north Alabama.

They’re calling this seizure a big success.

“Getting this amount of drugs off the street puts a major kink in the supply chain here in Athens. There’s three pounds of cocaine there, a half-pound of meth. We see a lot of meth here, more so than cocaine, but this really puts a damper on the amount of cocaine that’s going around here in Athens," said King.

Madry is charged with two counts of trafficking, illegal possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and possession of a firearm.
