A Marietta woman has been charged with trafficking cocaine after she was stopped by Monroe County deputies on I-75 on Feb. 8, 2013. Deputies Deputies were working traffic enforcement near mile marker 191 around 7:45 a.m. when an off-white Lincoln Towncar, driven by Stacey Link, 40, of Marietta, drove by with an improper tag display. A Monroe deputy stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver about her traffic offenses. Link gave deputies permission to search her vehicle and the MCSO K-9, Blue, alerted that drugs were in the vehicle.

She was denied bond and she is being housed at the Monroe County jail. -Allison Selman-Willis, MCSO
