Four people were arrested in north Georgia following a drug distribution investigation that spanned over several months. 

Crystal Norton, Russell Scoggins, Benji Sanford, and Rusty Marshall are all facing charges in connection with the investigation. 

Last Friday, just before 6 a.m., authorities executed a search warrant at Norton's Forestry Drive home in Ellijay. Approximately 40 grams of methamphetamine and 33 Xanax pills were seized from Norton's home. 

Then, later that day, authorities seized about five grams of marijuana at Scoggins' River Hill Road home. 

Norton and Scoggins were both arrested. Deputies also arrested Benji Sanford and Rusty Marshall in connection with the drug busts.
