ARKANSAS — A Marked Tree man is facing multiple felony charges after investigators reportedly seized nearly 500 grams of methamphetamine, crack cocaine and other drugs during a search of his home.

According to Poinsett County Sheriff’s Office, drug task force agents, along with deputies and officers from the Trumann and Marked Tree police departments, executed a search warrant Monday at the home of Gregory Tribble.

Sheriff Kevin Molder said investigators seized approximately 496 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 200 grams of suspected crack cocaine, 87.1 grams of suspected cocaine, four suspected hydrocodone pills and $2,252 in cash during the search.

Online jail records show Tribble, 45, is being held in the Poinsett County Detention Center on charges including trafficking a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine and cocaine, possession with intent to deliver a Schedule I or II controlled substance, endangering the welfare of a minor, possession of drug paraphernalia and a proximity-enhanced penalty.

“This is a significant seizure that removes dangerous drugs from our community,” Molder said in a news release. “Working together is what helps make our communities and Poinsett County a safer place to live.”
