Two Chattooga County residents are being charged with the intent to distribute methamphetamine after a traffic stop in Floyd County this week.

Ricky Wayne Sims, 62 of Lyerly, and Stevie Wayne Lingerfelt, 56 of Summerville, were arrested this week near the intersection of Ga 20 and Huffaker Road after a traffic stop turned up officers finding a large amount of methamphetamine.

Reports said that Sims was stopped for driving with a suspended tag when officers found over 4 ounces of methamphetamine.

The drugs were found after a K9 officer alerted on the vehicle.

Both men are charged with possession of meth, possession of meth with intent to distribute, and trafficking methamphetamine.
