Athens-Clarke County Police report the arrest of an accused drug trafficker: suspect Cartavious Sanders is 30 years old, from Athens. Agents with the Northeast Georgia Regional Drug Task Force say he was caught with cocaine and upwards of two thousand doses of fentanyl during a raid at an apartment on Carriage Court in Athens. Police say 27 year-old Terinesha Wise was also arrested, caught with what the drug agents say was methamphetamine.

Athens-Clarke County Police were, at last report, searching for a woman who drove a dead man in a truck to a parking lot and then walked away. The truck was found on Oglethorpe Avenue. Police say it is a blue Chevy single-cab pickup truck. The man was found inside, slumped over and likely dead for at least a day when he was discovered. Investigators have identified the man as Lee Smith, 65 years old. There’s no word on cause of death or on the woman driving the truck.
