A routine traffic stop in the early hours of April 12 led to the arrest of a man on multiple drug-related charges in Union County.
David Franklin Morgan now faces charges of trafficking methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute a Schedule II narcotic.
According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, the stop was initiated by the Georgia State Patrol at the Circle K on Cleveland Street in Blairsville, with support from a Union County Sheriff’s Office deputy who also serves as an FBI Safe Streets Task Force Officer.
Authorities say the stop uncovered more than 65 grams of methamphetamine, 11 oxycodone pills, a digital scale and multiple empty baggies — items commonly associated with drug distribution. Morgan also faces charges for driving under the influence of drugs and additional traffic violations.
