Lavonia Couple Face Multiple Charges in Stephens County

Two people from Lavonia face drug charges after a traffic stop in Stephens county.

On January 22, Stephens County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 35-year-old Rachael Ann Lynch 37-year-old John Johnson, both of Ridgeview Drive.

Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley said his traffic unit stopped a 1999 silver Lexus sedan after deputies observed the Lexus travel through an intersection without stopping on Wolf Pit Road.

He adds that a stop sign is clearly and visibly positioned at that particular intersection.

The sheriff says that during the traffic stop, deputies ran the driver’s information by name and date of birth because the driver, Lynch, told deputies she did not have a license with her.

According to sheriff Shirley, dispatch advised deputies that Lynch’s license was suspended for prior violations and that the tag displayed on the Lexus did not belong to that vehicle.

Shirley says deputies arrested lynch at that time and searched the vehicle.

He says during the search, about six grams of suspected methamphetamine was located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Both are charged with possession of methamphetamine.
