A husband and wife are in jail in Habersham County, accused of trafficking heroin.
Habersham County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 38-year-old Alisha Gay Dover of Clarkesville during a traffic stop on GA-365 in Baldwin on Friday, November 20. Her husband, Andrew Dover, 43, was with her at the time.
Deputies charged Alisha Dover with DUI and other traffic offenses. When they took her to jail, authorities say they discovered approximately 56 grams of heroin on her. Andrew Dover was then also arrested and jailed.
“The investigation revealed that both Alisha and Andrew had gone to Atlanta and picked up the heroin prior to the traffic stop,” says Trent Hillsman of the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office (ARDEO).
The heroin has a street value of $11,200.
Hillsman says officials had previously received information “into the illegal activities of the Dovers,” but was not specific. The couple had been under investigation for about five months.
A judge denied bond for the Dovers. They remained in custody as of late Monday afternoon, according to online jail records.
Hillsman says the investigation is still active and ongoing.
Officials encourage citizens to report suspicious drug activity by direct message on the ARDEO Facebook page, calling 706-348-7410, or contacting your local Sheriff’s Office or Police Department.
