Cocaine had potential street value of over $11,000

FOUR OAKS – Four Oaks Police made a major drug bust early-Monday morning (today) after executing a search warrant.

It started Sunday night, when a police officer stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. During the traffic stop, a K-9 alerted on the car. Police found suspected cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.

Tarvaris Woodard, age 44, of 800 E. Sanders Street, Lot 11, Four Oaks, was arrested and transported to the Johnston County Detention Center.

Based on evidence obtained during the traffic stop, Four Oaks Police obtained a search warrant for Woodard’s home.

Police Chief Stephen Anderson said a total of 4.1 ounces of cocaine, $5,100 in cash, two firearms, ammunition, and drug paraphernalia as located. One of the guns had been reported stolen in 1998 in Wayne County.

Tarvaris Woodard was released from custody on charges stemming from the traffic stop before police completed the execution of the search warrant.

Once located, Woodard will face additional charges of two counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm, trafficking cocaine, maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Chief Anderson said Woodard appears to be a major drug supplier in the Four Oaks area.

“With the recent increase in overdoses, it is important to remove illicit substances from the community. I appreciate the good work by our officers to come out here and take care of our town,” Chief Anderson told The Johnston County Report.

The cocaine seized had a potential street value of just over $11,000.

    • I doubt he is running, he is more than likely laying low at a buddy’s house figuring they were going to raid his place. And the jail let him go because all citizens and non-citizens have the same right to a bail or bond. He met the requirements for his bail and was able to leave.
