By Caleb Hutchins Assistant News Director

A man and woman from Hayesville, North Carolina were arrested in Towns County on a list of drug-related charges on Tuesday.

In a social media post Thursday, the Towns County Sheriff's Office said Nathan Allen Lemay, age 50, and Joy Shook, age 52, were arrested in what it called a "buy bust" operation.

The sheriff's office said Shook was found in possession of Adderall, which is a Schedule II Controlled Substance. Authorities also allegedly found Lemay in possession of a large amount of a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine laced with fentanyl.

Shook has been charged with possession with intent to distribute. Lemay also faces felony possession charges as well as crossing guard lines.

In Thursday's release, Towns County Sheriff Ken Henderson said he was pleased with the work of the county's drug investigators.
