A North Carolina man remains behind bars in Rabun County following his arrest earlier this week on drug trafficking charges.
Deputies arrested Alexander Farland, 30, of Sylva, on Tuesday, Feb. 6. He was pulled over for a traffic violation on US Highway 76 at the RaceTrac gas station.
During the traffic stop, deputies say they recovered approximately 29 grams of methamphetamine and around 16 grams of fentanyl. Authorities charged Farland with trafficking the drugs and on warrants out of Cobb County.
The sheriff’s office says the case has been turned over to the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office for further investigation.
