Grand Old Police Blotter: Republican Family Values Edition

Roger's Blue Ridge, Georgia correspondent sends this dispatch about Republican family values in the land of Johnny Isakson, Saxby Chambliss and Zell Miller.

A Cherokee County commissioner, her boyfriend and her daughter were arrested on drug charges late Thursday at their home near Woodstock.

Ilona Sanders, 48; her daughter, Rhianon Danielle Droneburg, 24; and Sanders' boyfriend, 38-year-old Philip Todd Smith, were released from the Cherokee County Jail on bond Friday morning.

Sanders, a two-term Republican, was defeated by Karen Mahurin in the July primary election for her Post 3 seat on the commission. Sanders and Smith were charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana; Droneburg was charged with possession of methamphetamine, Sheriff Roger Garrison said Friday. Two other people also were arrested, the sheriff said.

Garrison said county probation officers and members of the county multi-agency narcotics squad went to Sanders' home in the Bridge Mill subdivision shortly before 11 p.m. Thursday to check on Droneburg, who is on probation for a methamphetamine offense.

Good old Red State morality in action.
