Investigators determined that Johnson distributed the meth to Raines and she was arrested and charged in 2022.

“I believe that this sends a strong message out to those who try to bring in and sell this poison in Haralson County. If you deal drugs here, we will find you and arrest you, our record on shutting down drug houses in the last three years speaks for itself. If you sell drugs that cause the death of another, you will be prosecuted for that death,” Sheriff Stacy Williams said.
