GRAY, Ga. — A month-long investigation led the Jones County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit to arrest four people and find thousands of dollars worth of meth this week.
According to a news release, 26-year-old Yesica Garcia, 26-year-old Ruth Monje, 33-year-old Jose Zepeta, and 29-year-old Erika Alvarenga were arrested around 7 p.m. Tuesday in Gray.

Garcia and Monje are charged with trafficking methamphetamine. Zepeta and Alvarenga are facing methamphetamine trafficking charges and possession of a gun during a felony.
