HABERSHAM COUNTY, Ga. - A Duluth woman accused of running a $100,000 methamphetamine operation in two counties has been arrested.
Police say Tonya Loudermilk, 40, was arrested Friday by Habersham County Deputies at a residence off BC Grant Road.
Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell, in a Facebook post, says Loudermilk is being held in the County Detention Center on conspiracy charges, and will go to Gwinnett County to face more charges there.
Authorities had been seeking Loudermilk since three other people connected to the case were arrested in June.
Terrell says after the arrests, Gwinnett sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant at Loudermilk's residence, but she wasn't home but authorities found 40-year-old Derek Lynn Cagley, of Newnan, trying to flush 2 kilograms (about 4.5 pounds) of meth down the toilet. Authorities also recovered $20,000 from the residence.
Arrested: Jennifer Bone, Ronald Jones, Derek Lynn Cagley
