A coordinated narcotics investigation led to the seizure of large quantities of drugs, cash, and firearms following a search warrant executed on April 1, 2026, in Eufaula.
According to the police, agents with the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Region B and the Alabama Drug Enforcement Task Force carried out the operation as part of an ongoing investigation into illegal drug activity.

Investigators also recovered precursor chemicals believed to be used in drug manufacturing, $64,120 in U.S. currency, and four firearms.
Two Eufaula residents were arrested as a result of the operation:

Shavannah Moreland, 36, is charged with two counts of drug trafficking and one count of unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance in the first degree.
Both suspects are currently being held without bond at the Eufaula City Jail.
