'Large Bag' Of Meth Found During Traffic Stop

ADAIRSVILLE, GA — An Adairsville police officer conducting a traffic stop last week on a vehicle adorned with the wrong license plate unearthed a considerable amount of methamphetamine.

An officer discovered an "odd" vehicle passing through the city at the intersection of Ga. 140 at Joe Frank Harris Parkway/U.S. 41, the Adairsville Police Department said. The gray Ford Taurus was traveling northbound, and was affixed with a Georgia tag only designated for trailers.

The officer conducted a traffic stop on the driver, Alissa Beth Garrett, 39, of Aragon. A search of the woman and the vehicle unearthed a "large bag of suspected methamphetamine and a glass pipe," Adairsville police said.

Garrett was arrested and charged with two counts of felony possession of meth and possession with the intent to distribute and misdemeanor possession and use of drug-related objects, operating without an IRP registration, concealing identity of vehicle and driving while license is suspended/revoked.

She remains held at the Bartow County Jail on an $8,975 bond.
