Elizabeth Sueanne Maddux, a 38-year-old resident of Chattooga County, was arrested on Monday of this week, after a routine traffic stop led to the discovery of methamphetamine in her vehicle. Deputy Nick Robinson was on patrol near the intersection of Highway 27 and the Floyd County line when he observed Maddux’s blue Nissan Maxima making erratic lane changes. After activating his emergency lights, Deputy Robinson initiated a traffic stop after the vehicle nearly veered off the road. Upon making contact with Maddux, Deputy Robinson noted her lack of eye contact and asked if she had anything illegal in the vehicle. Maddux denied having any illegal substances and consented to a search. During the search, Deputy Robinson discovered two clear plastic baggies containing a white crystalline substance, which later tested positive for methamphetamine, hidden in a pack of cigarettes within the car. Maddux initially claimed that her uncle had been driving the vehicle. She was subsequently detained and transported to the Chattooga County Jail without incident. Following her arrest, Maddux was allowed to contact her husband to retrieve her vehicle, which was turned over to a family member. Maddux now faces charges of possession of methamphetamine and traffic offenses.
