Georgia Couple Learns Happy Meals And Meth Don’t Mix

A Georgia couple is under arrest after police found a bag of drugs in their car lying next to a 2-year-old child’s McDonald’s happy meal.

Jonathan Loftis, 34, and Bethany Smith, 23, have been charged with felony trafficking of methamphetamine and misdemeanor marijuana possession after they were pulled over on Interstate 85 earlier this month by Coweta County deputies, who say that Loftis was driving erratically.

Deputies say there was a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car, and they could see Smith’s 2-year-old daughter in the backseat.

When deputies asked Smith to exit the car, they said she was having difficulty walking.

Officers said they found a bag containing enough meth and marijuana to charge them with drug trafficking lying on the floorboard.

The bag was next to the 2-year-old child’s McDonald’s Happy Meal, authorities say.

“Not only was there a 2-year-old found in the car, but the drugs were found in very close proximity to a Happy Meal box, which makes the whole thing worse,” Coweta County Investigator Toby Nix said about the incident.

Deputies said that the child was turned over to a relative.
