Four Fannin County residents were arrested last Wednesday, March 17, on drug trafficking and related charges after law enforcement officers from three agencies took part in a traffic stop in Fannin County.

Facing identical charges of Trafficking in Heroin, Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute, Possession of MDMA (Ecstasy) with Intent to Distribute, and Possession of Drug Related Objects are:

•Sean Michael Myers, 29, of 859 Haymore Farm Road, Mineral Bluff;

•Jennifer Lynn Page, 46, homeless, of Blue Ridge; and, 

•David Allen Rayburn, 49, 155 Jones Street, Apt. C8, Blue Ridge, according to the booking report from the Fannin County Sheriff's Office.

A statement said the arrests came as a result of a joint drug trafficking investigation involving ARDEO and the Fannin County and Gilmer County sheriff’s offices. 

It was that investigation that led to the March 17  traffic stop of a White Nissan Frontier on Ballewtown Road just off Highway 515. A K-9 was used to help locate the illegal drugs.

Seized were approximately seven grams of heroin, four grams of methamphetamine, and a quantity of marijuana and ecstasy, the ARDEO statement said. The value of the drugs was estimated at $1,250.

All four suspects were booked into the Fannin County Detention Center where they were still being held Friday, March 19.
