Fugitive with 19 Warrants Arrested in Statesboro After One Year Search, Lengthy List of Charges

After a year long search and an anonymous tip, Statesboro Police Department’s Impact Team today arrested Quentin Lanier at Eastview Apartments. Lanier has a lengthy list of charges and remains at the Bulloch County Jail pending further judicial action.

On 6/15/22, acting on an anonymous tip, SPD Impact Team officers located and arrested Quentin Lanier (32, Gordon Street, Statesboro) at a residence in Eastview Apartments in Statesboro. Lanier had 19 active warrants for his arrest based on a 2021
Impact Team investigation into drug sales on Gordon Street. In that case, undercover buys of cocaine and marijuana led to the service of a search warrant where drugs and guns were recovered. Lanier actively evaded arrest after that point with the assistance of friends.

After his arrest, Lanier was transported to the Bulloch County Jail where he remains pending further judicial action. He is charged with 1 count of Trafficking Cocaine, 5 counts of Sale of Cocaine, 4 counts of Sale of Marijuana, 1 count of Possession of
Marijuana with Intent to Distribute, 4 counts of Unlawful Use of Communications Facilities, 1 count of Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony, 1 count of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, 1 count of Theft by Receiving
Stolen Property-Felony, and 1 count of Possession/Use of a Drug Related Object.
