A two-year joint operation on two drug traffickers that involved Union County, Fannin , Gilmer and Cherokee County, North Carolina Sheriff’s offices ended with their arrest on Thursday.
The operation came to a close when units from each county received a tip that Scott Decasper and Juliana Perry, both Cherokee County, NC residents, were moving methamphetamine from Georgia back to Cherokee.
Units from each office then conducted a traffic stop on Decasper and Perry in Gilmer. During the vehicle stop, Investigators with Gilmer County’s Crime Suppression Unit found over 10 ounces of Methamphetamine within the vehicle. As a result, Decasper and Perry were both placed under arrest without complications and confined in Gilmer County Detention Center under no bond.
Both are charged with Trafficking Methamphetamine and various other offenses.
The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office extends their appreciation to Gilmer, Union and Fannin County Sheriff’s Office’s for their help.
