A man and woman from North Carolina are each facing many charges after they were investigated and allegedly caught with so much narcotics that the authorities asserted that they were running a drug sales business.
Several months ago, the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation began investigating a 39-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man who reside in a house in Robersonville. The authorities believed they were taking part in drug trafficking activities out of the home.
On November 14, they went to the house with a search warrant. When they went inside and looked around, they reportedly found many items, including marijuana, crack, cocaine, methamphetamine, opioids, heroin, fentanyl, and pills. The police also found an amount of money leading them to believe that it came from illegal drug sales.
Both suspects were taken into custody.
Currently, the woman is expected to be charged with two counts of level three trafficking of heroin/ fentanyl, two counts of level one trafficking of heroin/ fentanyl, level two trafficking of methamphetamine, three counts of possession with intent to sell/deliver cocaine, 10 counts of maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances, and 10 counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
She is being held on a $3,000,000 bond.
The man is facing preliminary charges on suspicion of two counts of level three trafficking of heroin/ fentanyl, level one trafficking of heroin/ fentanyl, two counts of level two trafficking of methamphetamine, two counts of possession with intent to sell/deliver methamphetamine, possession with intent to sell/deliver cocaine, seven counts of maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances, and seven counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, and having a firearm as a felon.
His bond was set at $3,020,000.
