One man was arrested on drug charges following a traffic stop in Stephens County on Sunday.

The Stephens County Sheriff's Office said they conducted a traffic stop on a white Ford truck along Ga. 17 near the Toccoa Bypass at approximately 11:47 p.m. Sunday, June 7. During the stop, they made contact with Timothy Pace, age 43, of Eastanollee, who was driving the truck.

Deputies asked him to exit the vehicle and conducted a search, finding a pill bottle lying on the ground, which was allegedly in Pace's hand when he exited the vehicle. Inside the pill bottles, deputies reportedly discovered multiple white pills, determined to be suspected Xanax, and plastic baggies containing suspected methamphetamine.

According to the agency, officers also located approximately $400 in cash, a box containing a large quantity of suspected methamphetamine, four purple pills suspected to be Tramadol, a needle containing suspected liquid methamphetamine and a grinder containing suspected marijuana.

Pace was arrested and transported to the Stephens County Detention Center. He is charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession and use of drug-related objects, possession of marijuana, prescription drugs not in the original container and a probation violation.

He was denied bond by a Stephens County Magistrate Court judge and remains in jail as of Tuesday morning.
