Williams remains in the Polk County Jail.
Presley and Williams were originally arrested in October, along with Walter Presley Jr., after Polk County police initiated search warrants for a home and Bradford Drug Store on North Main Street in Cedartown.
Williams was arrested Oct. 16 after she left the drug store. Police said she was in possession of schedule II hydrocodone in the form of six different prescriptions with each one in a different name at the time of her arrest.
Tyler Presley was arrested the same day on drug charges and Walter Presley Jr. was arrested Oct. 23 on similar charges.
All three had bonded out of jail on the initial charges.
Police believe the three were part of a Polk County-based organized crime ring and had been dealing illegal drugs since March 2008. Police estimate the illegal sales tallied around $110,000.
