Gainesville Police and the Georgia State Patrol (GSP) are reporting the arrests of several people recently on drug distribution/trafficking charges. Each of the arrests followed traffic stops.
The GSP charges grew out of a traffic stop on Georgia 365 early Tuesday.

Three people in the car with her face similar charges.
