Authorities charged a Toccoa woman with trafficking methamphetamine after her arrest at a home in Franklin County this week. 29-year-old Carolyn Nicole Vinson was one of two people arrested after investigators say they found a quantity of drugs in the home. The other person is identified as 46-year-old Rocky Lee Holmes of Canon.
The arrests on December 7 were the result of a joint drug investigation conducted by the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office (ARDEO) and Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.
“As a result of the investigation, marijuana, ecstasy, and approximately 1.8 ounces of methamphetamine were seized,” says ARDEO Special Agent in Charge Trent Hillsman.
In addition to trafficking, agents charged Vinson with possession of marijuana and possession of a Schedule I drug. They charged Holmes with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
Both suspects were transported to the Franklin County Jail following their arrests. Hillsman says it is an ongoing investigation.
