Dalton police officers arrested four-men and seized about 50 pounds of marijuana and 2 ounces of methamphetamine Thursday night after a traffic stop on Interstate 75.
The arrests were the result of a monthlong investigation by the Dalton Police Department’s drug unit, polices spokesman Bruce Frazier said in a news release.
Those arrested were Bryan Torres Montiel, 23; Roberto Diaz Celis, 29; Rodolfo Amaya Gilliano, 22, all of Albertville, Ala., and Effrain Ruiz Ortiz, 22, of Crossville, Ala.
Investigators stopped the men’s SUV and obtained a warrant to search. They found the marijuana wrapped heavily in plastic in the back, Mr. Frazier said.
