Herman Leon Beck, 49
BLUE RIDGE, GA – Two men are in jail and the threat of dangerous drugs shockingly close to the heart of Blue Ridge has been removed.
Herman Leon Beck, 49, and Joshua Edward Perry, 35, were arrested Oct. 22 in downtown Blue Ridge for possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug-related objects.
An anonymous source contacted the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office to report that methamphetamine was being used and possible sold at 433 East Main Street.
The location is a commercially-zoned building, but
Joshua Edward Perry, 35
was being used as a residence by Beck, according to Captain Justin Turner with the sheriff’s office.
The arrests were made by Investigator John Arp, who took the pair of men into custody for possessing a quantity of methamphetamine less than one ounce and for possession of materials used in the smoking of the drug.
Both men remain in custody in the Fannin County Detention Center on holds from probation/parole.
