A fifty-year-old woman was arrested on drug charges after deputies performed a traffic stop on Highway 27 in Summerville.  According to a report released this week, the deputies were sitting int he parking lot of Burger King around 3:30 AM, when they noticed a vehicle pull into the nearby car wash.  Deputies believed the car was being driven by a suspected drug dealer.

After the vehicle pulled onto Highway 27, the deputies followed and performed a traffic stop on Rossville Boulevard.   The car the woman was driving had a cancelled registration and belonged to someone else. The driver told deputies she was coming back from Rome, but did not know that deputies had seen her earlier at the car wash parking lot.  After a consent to search the vehicle, the deputies found suspected methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia.

Dawn Marie Trammell was arrested and booked into the Chattooga County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug-related objects and traffic violations.
