A Gwinnett County woman who is accused of running a $100,000 methamphetamine operation in two counties is in custody.
Tonya Loudermilk, 40, of Duluth, was arrested Friday at a residence in Habersham County, Sheriff Joey Terrell said in a Facebook post.
“She is currently being held in the Habersham County Sheriff's Office Detention Center on conspiracy charges and then will go to Gwinnett County for charges from the search warrant that was conducted there,” Terrell said.
Authorities had been seeking Loudermilk since three other people connected to the case were arrested in June.
Jennifer Bone, 36, of Demorest, and Ronald Jones, 34, of Cornelia, were arrested at a convenience store in Habersham County on meth trafficking charges, Terrell said. Less than 1 pound of meth was found in their car.
After the arrests, Gwinnett sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant at Loudermilk’s residence, the Island Apartments on Satellite Boulevard, Terrell said.
Loudermilk wasn’t home, but authorities found Derek Lynn Cagley, 40, of Newnan, trying to flush meth down a toilet and about $20,000, Terrell said.
