Earlier this month, investigators with the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office received tips that Adam Douglas Greeson, 37, of Toccoa, was distributing methamphetamine.
According to a press release, authorities determined Greeson was traveling to metro-Atlanta to transport controlled substances back to the county.
On Thursday, deputies initiated a traffic stop on Greeson’s vehicle just after 9 p.m. along North Hill Street in Toccoa. During the stop, a K9 unit alerted to narcotics, and deputies found 2.15 ounces of methamphetamine, a digital scale, and other objects.
The passenger, Shandar Ivester, 41, of Toccoa, reportedly provided a false identity. Both were arrested and charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug related objects.
Greeson was also cited for failure to maintain lane. Ivester faces additional charges for providing false name and date of birth to law enforcement and obstructing or hindering law enforcement.Both were denied bond by a magistrate judge.
“Our mission is simple: to protect the citizens of Stephens County by aggressively pursuing those involved in the illegal drug trade,” said Sheriff Rusty Fulbright.
