The Washington County Sheriff’s Office said it happened Wednesday around 11:30 p.m. Officials said a deputy was patrolling the Davisboro area when they spotted multiple suspicious vehicles near the area close to the prison.
While investigating, the deputy approached one of the vehicles when they came in contact with Shantavia Glass, 38, of Clarkston, and Eddie Williams, 55, of Stone Mountain.
Deputies said the pair had a large drone with packages zip-tied to the bottom.
