CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — Two women were arrested for a hefty drug bust on Monday.

Detectives with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics & Special Investigations Unit searched 3615 3rd Avenue in Chattanooga. HCSO SWAT Team and Uniformed Services personnel assisted in this search.

They found Regina Goins (also known as ‘Regina Brewster’) and Tonya Goins with $51,000 worth of drugs, including meth and fentanyl.

Authorities seized the drugs along with $544 in cash in accordance with state law.

Both women were taken to the Hamilton County Jail and face drug charges for possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.

“Once again, your Sheriff’s Office has successfully disrupted and seized a substantial quantity of dangerous drugs, preventing them from causing harm and destroying families. My mandate to all deputies, especially my Narcotics Detectives, is to prioritize eradicating this poison from our community. As I have stated before and it remains true today: If you choose to be involved in drug distribution in this county, as these individuals discovered, the next knock on your door might be from my Narcotics Detectives and SWAT Team executing a search warrant. We are coming for you and as you can see, we still make house calls,” stated Sheriff Austin Garrett.
