A Calhoun man is back behind bars after authorities say he was caught trafficking more than two pounds of methamphetamine.
Shaun Corey Farrell, 47, of 980 Red Bud Road, was arrested on October 13, 2025, following a two-month joint narcotics investigation conducted by the Calhoun Police Department’s Special Operations Division, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, and the Dalton Police Department.

Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute
Possession of Methamphetamine
Driving While License Suspended or Revoked
