That’s according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), who arrested 43-year-old Kelly Leif Ward of Gainesville in relation to the meth seizure.
Authorities report they went to Ward’s residence off of Dawsonville Highway on Thursday.
A search warrant was executed on the residence on Rock Ridge Drive at around 6 p.m.
