A convenience store attendant called the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday after finding suspected narcotics at the store.  On Monday, employees at an area Dollar General found suspected methamphetamine inside the store.

A deputy responded to the Trion Discount Food Mart – locally known as the “Shell in the Hole” – around 2:30 AM on Sunday morning. The store employee gave the deputy a small piece of pink, tied-up plastic with suspected methamphetamine inside that was found on the premises.  The deputy took the suspected drugs and placed it in an evidence locker at the sheriff’s office to be destroyed.

In a separate incident on Monday, deputies were called to the Dollar General Store in Lyerly after store management found a latex glove with suspected methamphetamine inside.  The manager and staff showed the responding deputy store surveillance, but it was inconclusive as to who might have dropped the meth-filled glove near the front checkout area of the store.
