Cop Makes Large Meth Bust During Traffic Stop
Adairsville officer Cody Jones unearthed more than 300 grams of meth, syringes and cash inside a vehicle during a Jan. 30 traffic stop.
My name is Kristal Dixon and I'm your editor for Patch sites serving the communities of Cartersville, Canton, Holly Springs, Woodstock, Johns Creek, Alpharetta-Milton, Roswell and Sandy Springs.
Before coming to Patch, I spent five years as a reporter with the Cherokee Tribune in Canton.
I worked as the editorial assistant for the Griffin Daily News between February and August 2007. I was then hired by the Cherokee Tribune in Canton as the education reporter in August 2007. Along with education, I was also responsible for covering the cities of Woodstock and Nelson.
In early 2011, I became the government reporter and covered the cities of Woodstock, Canton, Nelson as well as the Cherokee County government.
While with the Tribune, I was recognized by my peers with first, second and third-place awards from the Georgia Press Association and the Georgia Associated Press Association for my work in covering education, investigative journalism, business and breaking news reporting.
In September 2012, I joined Patch as a local editor in Georgia. I love covering the communities I serve, and I'm always on the hunt for news that's relevant to our readers. You can send your news to me at kristal.dixon@patch.com.
