Two Vonore residents have been arrested and charged with promoting the manufacture of methamphetamine, according to Blount County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Marian O'Briant.
Following a traffic stop about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. Highway 411, investigators with the 5th Judicial District Drug Task Force were notified that Angela Dawn Mitchell, 40, and Herman Ray Garrett, 46, were buying supplies to produce meth at various locations in Maryville and Alcoa.
