Drug agents charged a Cornelia woman with drug trafficking after a traffic stop led to her arrest.
Police stopped 41-year-old Brandi Hurt on Monday, November 22, while investigating meth trafficking in Hall and Lumpkin counties, says Assistant SAC Michael Marler of the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office.
He says police found one ounce of methamphetamine in Hurt’s car. They then obtained a search warrant for a residence at 3510 Pea Ridge Road in Cornelia. There, Marlar says, agents discovered approximately a half kilogram of meth.
The total estimated street value of the seized drugs is $7,350.
Officers charged Hurt with trafficking methamphetamine in Habersham and Hall counties.
Deputies from Habersham, Hall, and Lumpkin counties and ARDEO drug agents were involved in the investigation.
Marlar says that the investigation is still active and ongoing.
