Meal delivery driver uses job to traffic meth for drug ring, Georgia deputies say
A Georgia woman is behind bars after authorities accused her of hauling more than meals on her food delivery route.
Tammy Dyer, 55, of Monroe was charged with trafficking methamphetamine and possession of drug related objects following her Sept. 30 arrest, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office said in an Oct. 28 news release.
She “was occasionally using her position as a ‘meals on wheels’ delivery driver to distribute these drugs,” authorities said.
It’s not clear which Meals on Wheels program Dyer is associated with.
McClatchy News reached out to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office for more information Tuesday, Oct. 29, and was awaiting a response.
In September, authorities said they launched an investigation into her alleged involvement in a drug trafficking ring operating in the Atlanta area.
A search of Dyer’s home turned up nearly 500 grams of meth and “several drug related objects,” according to the release.
Authorities didn’t release additional details but said the case has been turned over to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office.
Dyer remained in custody at the Walton County Jail as of Oct. 30, online records show.
Monroe is about a 30-mile drive southwest from downtown Athens.
