A Hickory Flat woman with possible ties to a larger heroin operation in metro Atlanta has been indicted for allegedly trying to sell the drug in Cherokee County.

A grand jury earlier this month indicted Kimberly Gale Reed, 32, on three counts of sale of heroin and one count of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute.

Reed, 32, was arrested March 20 for allegedly trying to sell 3.6 grams of heroin. She was initially held without bond, but the court earlier this month granted the defendant a consent bond order, which was set at $30,000.

According to Sandy Springs police, Reed is the girlfriend of Eddie Lee Davis, an alleged major drug dealer in a north Fulton County heroin ring.

In February, Davis was arrested in Cherokee County on various drug and traffic charges.

Investigators with the Sandy Springs Police Department reached out to Davis at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center in an attempt to gather information needed to break up the north Fulton operation.

Davis was initially helpful, but later stop cooperating with the police. Investigators then reached out to the Cherokee County District Attorney’s Office for help, which also began helping detectives with their case.

Detectives learned Reed allegedly began taking over Davis’s operations, and started to sell heroin while Davis was in jail.

Undercover officers in Cherokee allegedly made several drug purchases from her after Davis had been arrested, Sandy Springs police spokesperson Sgt. Ron Momon previously told Patch.

Reed is set to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Aug. 13 at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center.
