Gordon County deputy sheriffs on patrol on US Highway 41 made a significant bust, arresting three individuals after stopping a suspicious vehicle with three occupants. The incident unfolded near Resaca this past week, raising concerns about illegal drug and firearm activity in the area. Upon pulling over the vehicle, deputies conducted a search that uncovered large quantities of illegal drugs along with several firearms that were held unlawfully. All three suspects were apprehended at the scene without incident, highlighting the diligence of law enforcement in combating crime on the highways. The suspects have been identified as Margie Russell, 50, of Calhoun; Cody Anderson, 33, of Dalton; and Kelly Parks, 42, of Sugar Valley. Notably, Russell was already wanted as a fugitive at the time of her arrest, with existing warrants against her for theft. In addition to the initial findings, all three suspects face serious charges, including drug trafficking, possession with intent to distribute, and violations related to firearms. Russell, with a troubling history of at least 30 prior arrests within the jurisdiction, faces further charges for allegedly bringing drugs across a jail guard line.
