Two men were arrested after a brief pursuit in Franklin County earlier this week, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.
Franklin County deputies attempted the traffic stop on April 12 near Owens Drive and GA Highway 17 when the driver, identified as Jonathan Andrew Goble of Richmond, Kentucky, allegedly attempted to flee.
In response, deputies executed a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver to stop the vehicle. Goble was taken into custody at the scene.
A passenger in the vehicle, Lacresha Glover of Elkhorn City, Kentucky, was initially detained. Following a search of the vehicle, deputies allegedly discovered two large tumblers containing approximately five pounds of methamphetamine. The drugs are estimated to have a street value of around $170,000. Glover was subsequently arrested.
Both individuals were transported to the Franklin County Detention Center.
