Deputies Seize Meth, 64 Firearms During Search Warrant
NEWTON GROVE, N.C. — A southern Johnston County man is being held under a $1 million bond after authorities said a three-month undercover narcotics investigation allegedly uncovered methamphetamine trafficking activity at his home.
The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office said deputies executed a search warrant on May 15 at the residence of 56-year-old James Alan Blackmon at 453 Thornton Road near Newton Grove.
The operation was conducted by the sheriff’s office narcotics division into the alleged sale and distribution of crystal methamphetamine.
During the search, agents reportedly seized approximately 257 grams of crystal methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, and 64 firearms.
Blackmon was arrested and charged with 20 drug-related offenses, including trafficking methamphetamine, maintaining a vehicle or dwelling for a controlled substance, and possession with intent to sell or deliver a controlled substance.
Authorities said additional charges related to the firearms remain possible as the investigation continues.

Great Job !! Thank you for getting these drugs and the traffickers off of the streets.
So sad this narcotics situation is all around us. It’s to the point law enforcement can’t handle it.
What ? NO MONEY ? Where’s the cash ? Get one of the ladies to sniff it out ! Can’t hide money from a woman !
Is it against the law to have 64 firearms?
No which is why none of his charges are related to a firearm. They siezed them they didn’t charge him for possessing them.
It most certainly is combined with meth
The 64 firearms mostly all look like hunting, or those of a collector. Shame to melt all them, or what ever they do with confiscated items… Hmmm think I just answered my own question…
