Five people were arrested after agents with the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigation Division served two separate and unrelated search warrants on Thursday.
Agents responded to a residence on East Pleasant Street in Roseboro and served the first search warrant. During the search of the residence, one pound of marijuana was located and as a result three suspects were taken into custody and charged. Arrested were:
Tshawn Williams, 26, of E. Pleasant St. Roseboro was charged with felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and a bond was set in the amount of $15,000.
Shayla Dixon, 25,of Walker Melvin Ln. Roseboro was charged with felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and a bond was set in the amount of $10,000.
Nathan Thomas, 24, of E. Pleasant St. Roseboro was charged with felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance and misdemeanor drug paraphernalia. A bond was set at $40,000 for Mr. Thomas.
Agents later responded to a residence on Reagan Lane in Roseboro to follow up on drug related complaints they had received. While at this location, agents established enough probable cause to obtain a search warrant on the residence. During a search of the residence, officers located items consistent with manufacturing methamphetamines. As a result, two suspects were taken into custody and charged.
Justina Phillips, 25, of Reagan Lane, Roseboro was charged with 7 counts of felony meth precursors, maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance and misdemeanor storage of hazardous waste without a permit. A bond was set in the amount of $100,000.
Travis Williams, 21, of Plug Lane, Autryville was charged with 7 counts of felony meth precursors, maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance and misdemeanor storage of hazardous waste without a permit. A bond was set in the amount of $100,000.
“This is yet another example of citizen involvement aiding in ridding our county of drug dealers,” said Sampson County Sheriff’s Lt. Marcus Smith. “We appreciate the information and cooperation of citizens who report suspicious activity and the hard work of our investigators who follow up on these complaints.”
