In two separate incidents, the Towns County Sheriff’s Office arrested three individuals on drug charges Thursday, Nov. 7.
The first incident came after police received a tip of alleged drug activity taking place in two different rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in Hiawassee. A search of the rooms led authorities to confiscate what was believed to be methamphetamines.
Hannah Jo Barajas, 26 and Kevin Lee Parson, 38, of Lula, were both arrested and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, according to police.
The second incident occurred at a residence in the Upper Bell Creek area, according to authorities, where Towns County drug investigators established probable cause and executed a search warrant of a home. Cody Crane, 37 of Hiawassee, was charged with misdemeanor possession and use of a drug related object.
Towns County Sheriff Ken Henderson commended drug investigators following last week’s arrests.
