Authorities have charged two women in Hamilton County as per Fox-17 News.
According to a release from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), the home on the 3600 block of 3rd Avenue was the scene of a search warrant execution on Monday, when officers executed the search warrant with the assistance of a Chattanooga Police SWAT squad.
A search yielded “approximately 1.4 pounds of methamphetamine, a small amount of fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and $544 in cash,” according to the press release.
