After a week long investigation into methamphetamine trafficking, six (6) people were arrested on drug trafficking/distribution and firearms charges Monday night (December 7th) at a private residence on Holbrook Road near the Oostanaula community. Sheriff’s detectives executed a search warrant at 200 Holbrook Road in unincorporated Gordon County which resulted in the seizure of several ounces of methamphetamine with a “street” value of nearly $10,000.00, a large array of drug related paraphenalia, and an assortment of firearms. Six people were arrested:
