According to a social media post from the Towns County Sheriff's Office, investigators initiated a traffic stop on Mathew Carl Simon, 48, on 1400 Hwy 66, Young Harris. Probable cause led investigators to search Simon’s vehicle and the substances found tested positive for methamphetamine.
Further investigation led authorities to discover that Simon was also an alleged member of the “Ghostface Gangsters” gang out of Union County.
