ALBANY, GA -- Updated by Sean Streicher 11/16/12 9:00pm:

The Flint Circuit Drug Task Force out of Henry County intercepted ten ounces of crystal methamphetamine  that was on its way to Albany.

Officers from the Flint Circuit Drug Task Force alerted Albany-Dougherty Drug Unit who inserted undercover officers to complete the initial delivery.

32-year-old, Brian Jason McGee, accepted the crystal meth from undercover officers who were able to make an arrest.

Brian McGee was arrested around 6am Wednesday morning on multiple charges, including Trafficking a Methamphetamine, and Obstruction of an officer, both of which are felonies.

Major Bill Berry of the ADDU says,
 It's been a long time since we've seen this much meth in this area, this is not an everyday personal consumption."

Officers expect more arrests to be made.
