According to the Towns County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO), investigators obtained a search warrant for a residence on Bugscuffle Road on May 21. During that search, they report they found methamphetamine that field-tested positive along with “multiple types” of pills.
40-year-old Laurel Taylor Lambert of Hayesville, North Carolina was arrested on Tuesday on a charge of felony possession of meth.
Arrest warrants were issued on May 21 for 48-year-old Jason Levon Garrett of Hiawassee for felony possession of meth, felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, three felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, and a misdemeanor count of possession of drug-related objects.
