Agents with the Zell Miller Mountain Drug Task Force make arrest at Burger King in East Ellijay, GA. Having it your way does not include illegal drugs. One woman found out the hard way after reports ultimately led to her recent arrest. Courtney Morgalo was arrested in March at the Burger King located in East Ellijay, GA. Agents of the ZMMPDTF received info that Courtney Morgalo was selling and using meth while on the job at Burger King in East Ellijay. The info was specific in nature and revealed she was selling from outside the business from her car as well as selling through the drive through window.

The information resulted in an investigation and some surveillance. Agents, along with Ellijay Probation (Morgola was on probation for previous drug charges), went to Burger King and made contact with Morgala. After explaining why they were there, they asked her outside. Subsequent searches of Morgola, and after a K9 sniff of her car resulting in her car being searched, resulted in 2 unidentified prescription pills from her pocket and roughly 5 grams of meth being recovered from her car. Plastic baggies used to package drugs for sale and scales were also recovered.
