Two alleged drug traffickers are in jail following their arrests last week at an Athens hotel.

On Dec. 29, agents from the Northeast Georgia Regional Drug Task Force and Athens-Clarke County Police Department (ACCPD) raided a hotel in the 100 block of Old Epps Bridge Road. The raid resulted from a meth trafficking investigation, according to police.

Authorities arrested 40-year-old Tyler Stalker of Ellijay and 43-year-old Angela Mosley of Gainesville. The pair possessed nearly nine pounds of methamphetamine. Stalker also had a .38 caliber revolver, police say.

Authorities charged Stalker and Mosley with drug trafficking. They also charged Stalker with possession of a firearm during the commission of certain crimes and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Police are asking anyone with information about drug activity in the Athens area to contact the police department’s drug tip line at 706-613-3297.
