The first, 31 year old Joshua Scott Hardin of Gaylesville, was booked into jail at 12:09pm, on charges of Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. 

The second arrest resulted in 19 year old Piedmont resident Colton Gregory McCurdy being booked in at 5:44pm, charged with the Unlawful Possession of Controlled Substance, Giving False Name/Information to Law Enforcement and Revocation of Bond.
