According to the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy sheriff responded to the report of a vehicle driving in an unsafe manner during the early morning hours of Monday, April 20. The deputy stopped an automobile on Interstate 75 occupied by a man and woman.

A subsequent search of this automobile revealed a “rolling meth lab,” a mobile operation whereby methamphetamine is actually prepared inside of a vehicle traveling on a roadway.

The occupants, Sherri Kathleen Coffel, 39, of Clarkson, Ga. and Travis Clark Tackett, 22, of Catersville, were both arrested at the scene and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. They are both in jail awaiting judicial proceedings.

Deputy sheriffs from the Sheriff’s Drug Task Force also arrested Christopher Wayne Cartwright, 28, of Calhoun, Monday, April 13. He was charged with two counts of sale of methamphetamine.

Cartwright had been the subject of an investigation spanning several weeks, and is accused of selling methamphetamine to an undercover operative on two separate occasions in March and April in Gordon County. Cartwright remains incarcerated in the County Jail pending judicial proceedings.
