A warrant-driven search following several months of investigations led to a big meth bust in Jackson County.

On Dec. 16, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office conducted the search on an address located on Sam Freeman Road.

Authorities arrest 54-year-old Travis Wilson Tanner of Hoschton, 54-year-old Rhonda Mae Elrod of Braselton, 39-year-old Ricardo Andre Moreno of Braselton and 52-year-old Richard Newell Vondersmith of Tucker. All of them were charged with possession of methamphetamine as well as possession with intent to distribute the drug.
