Baldwin, Ga. – According to reports out of Habersham County, a husband and wife have been arrested for trafficking heroin.

The wife was originally pulled over under suspicion of driving under the influence. This led to a serious investigation and search of the vehicle. Officers discovered over 50 grams of heroin in her vehicle. Both her and her husband were booked into the county jail without bond.
