A South Carolina man is in the Forsyth County Jail without bail after being charged with a stolen vehicle, a firearm and drug offenses.
According to a post from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, Chantz Joshua Galloway, of Easley, SC, was arrested on Thursday, January 14, after Publix on Matt Highway officials “called a suspicious man who alleged that his car was not working and he needed a place to warm up ”at a nearby gas station.

“During the search for the vehicle, deputies located a firearm, a quantity of heroin and 38 oxycodone tablets, in addition to digital scales and numerous plastic bags,” said the post.
Galloway was charged with theft on receiving a stolen vehicle, possession of a firearm while committing a crime, possession of heroin intended for distribution, possession of a Class II controlled substance intended for distribution, and possession of a drug-related object.
