Law enforcement arrested two people from South Carolina on drug trafficking charges during a traffic stop in Northeast Georgia.
Officers took into custody 30-year-old Robert Wade Mann, Jr. and 37-year-old Heather Marie Griffin, both of Laurens, SC, in Franklin County on Friday, January 7.
A Georgia State Patrolman attempted to stop their car for following too closely. “The car did not willingly stop but finally did,” says Michael Marlar of the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office.
During the traffic stop, officers discovered 9.5 ounces of methamphetamine, with an approximate street value of $3,800.00, says Marlar. Officers arrested Mann and Griffin and booked them in the Franklin County Jail. They charged both suspects with trafficking methamphetamine and also charged Mann with fleeing in a motor vehicle.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, GSP, and ARDEO were involved in the investigation which is still active and ongoing.
