Investigators in northwest Georgia believe two people arrested during a traffic stop may have been distributing methamphetamines between metro Atlanta and Chattanooga.
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, Catoosa County sheriff’s deputies conducted a traffic stop on U.S. 41 in Ringgold, according to Sheriff Gary Sisk. During a search of the vehicle, deputies found two pounds of methamphetamines, worth an estimated $30,000, Sisk said.
Deputies arrested Jesus Humberto Lopez Deanda, 27, of Lilburn, and Mitchell L. Mary Cordova, 24, of Duluth. Both were charged with trafficking methamphetamine and drug possession. Deanda also faces additional traffic charges, including driving without a valid license and improper tag displayed, jail records showed.
Both Deanda and Cordova were being held without bond Wednesday night in the Catoosa jail. The two are believed to be major distributors of methamphetamine between Atlanta and Chattanooga, Sisk said.
