Investigators confiscated nearly 64 grams of fentanyl and roughly 60 grams of methamphetamine. The estimated combined street value of the drugs is $15,515.
Blackwell and Rutledge were charged with one count each of trafficking fentanyl and trafficking methamphetamine.
They were booked into the Hall County Jail, where they are being held without bond.
