MARTIN COUNTY — An informant told Martin County Sheriff's Office detectives that he has sold about 30 pounds of methamphetamine over six to eight weeks for a Georgia man.

On Dec. 9, deputies arrested the man, Stacey White, 31, and Jorganna Barrett, 35, also from Georgia, on two drug-related charges.

Detectives said they arrested the pair at a Marathon gas station at 8000 Southwest Jack James Drive in Stuart. Both White and Barrett were arrested on two charges each of trafficking methamphetamine and illegally using two-way communication devices.

Detectives said on Dec. 6, they spoke with an informant who told deputies he sold meth for White and stored between a few ounces to a couple of pounds of meth in the informant's attic.

The informant told detectives on Dec. 3, White gave him a pound of crystal meth to distribute in packages.

Deputies showed the informant a stack of photos of people who could potentially be involved with White's meth distribution, and the informant picked out a picture of Barrett. The informant told deputies Barrett has distributed meth for White in the past.

On Dec. 9, the informant met with White to get more meth to distribute at the Marathon gas station. The informant told deputies White would leave the meth in a bag in a garbage can for him to pick up.
