KENLY, N.C. — The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant Wednesday at a residence outside of Kenly following a month-long undercover narcotics investigation.

Investigators said narcotics agents served the warrant April 22 at a home located at 8146 Old Beulah Road, which is located approximately 600 feet from a church.

During the search, deputies reported seizing suspected cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, fentanyl, and various prescription pills. Authorities also recovered multiple items of drug paraphernalia, including burnt spoons, plastic bags, and syringes.

According to the sheriff’s office, the residence was being used for the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics.

Arrest warrants have been obtained for 51 year-old Christopher Ted Creech, of Kenly, in connection with the investigation. Creech was not at the home at the time the search warrant was executed.

No additional information has been released.

  1. This article is misleading and leaves out important facts. Just two weeks before this, it was stated in court that Chris was not even living at the address being mentioned here. That alone contradicts key parts of this story.
    It’s also concerning to see serious implications being made without clear, verified evidence. Speculation should not be presented in a way that damages someone’s reputation.
    There seems to be more going on behind the scenes than what’s being reported, and it’s unfair for one-sided or incomplete information to be put out publicly as if it’s the full truth.
    Accurate reporting matters. People’s lives are affected by what gets published, and the facts should come first.

    • You act like everyone don’t know Chris. Get real… stop trying to white knight for him. If anyone has ever a opportunity to be successful and thrown it away, bc of drugs, it is him. Everyone around here knows your comment is 🐎 💩… lol try again.

      • “Everyone who knows Chris personally knows he’s a good guy. This is coming from his own family—his *******, and it’s all a lie. Don’t let these false accusations define him. They don’t know him the way we do, and this is just a cruel attempt to tear him down.”

      • Shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house….them pills hit different when you aint got none.

  2. Whys there no picture of all the narcotics they seized like they usually post? Sounds like they are running up in random people’s houses based off wether their informants like you or not.

    • Yeah usually JCSO takes pictures of what they find in there investigations and it’s posted… even the smallest of what not… and it being sooo close to a church….

  3. I’ve known Chris all my life that boy does not sell hard drug or even deal with anybody that deals with hard drugs I’m I’m tired of people always assuming things when they don’t really know the person all they do is talk it’s a miserable person trying to make another person’s life miserable something bad is going to come their way karma is a b***h

    • ”He does not sell hard drugs!”
      lol
      You make it sound like it’s ok to sell drugs.
      Best part about JoCo report is the comments

    • Education would help so many tremendously- it’s right at your fingertips nowadays. Be careful the site you look at though – not all are truthful. This was rather quick and easy, however.

      No wonder we have the administration we have – county and federal…

      While I do not trust Sheriff Bizzell – he is a ***** ****** – but the county good ole boys love him. I am assuming this guy is white and a local – so he is going to have so much going for him right off the bat already. He will get an attorney – one way or another. If anything in the search is deemed illegal -it will get thrown out – probably before trial. If the evidence was crucial – then possibly (probably) no trial.
      In most cases the detectives (or whoever has the task of performing the search) are taking pictures and video recordings while searching the home. It’s JoCo -so who knows. We have way too many Barney’s and Goober’s walking around and not enough Andy’s and Helen’s.

      But yes – see below:

      Yes, police can legally search your home in North Carolina even if no one is present, provided they hold a valid search warrant.
      A search warrant is a court order signed by a judge that authorizes law enforcement to enter and search specific locations described in the document. Because a warrant is a judicial command, it supersedes individual permission or consent; therefore, the absence of the homeowner does not invalidate the officer’s authority to execute the search.

      • Leighlah34 I sure wish I knew your real name so we could talk in person you are full of real information

        • I am so not sure how to take that…..
          I mean I do prefer to give real information over what the majority of people since 2016 want – which is “alternative facts.” We always called them lies – and I still do.
          Just tell the truth. The truthful answer to that question was yes the police can search – with a valid warrant- even if no one is home.
          What I find most disturbing is over 95% (probably higher) of American citizens could not pass a citizenship test without using a search engine. No one seems to know or care what the US or State Constitution says. They don’t know history, geography, Political science, social studies etc. And I’m not talking about just the children today in school. I’m talking about people in their 40s as well and even older.
          Education and I’m not talking about just school – but learning through life skills, reading or audiobooks – heck even videos – immersing yourself in knowledge. But – make sure it’s factual – and not some off the wall kook telling you the sun does not rise in the east. Science and research do change as they learn more – take for instance the Hubble vs. Webb Space Telescope- the facts didn’t change – we are just at a point where advances made different learning capabilities.

          I do hope you are always ready to learn.

  4. Why does it matter if it’s 600 ft from a church guess like last week when the guy had 7 concealed knives on him just trying to church it up

  5. Why are y’all complaining? This is the Sherriff and his people that y’all voted in and like correct? Y’all funny 😂😂

    • And this dude – while is voter registration is inactive -is also one of them. Last voted in 2018 – republican of course – so not a yankee liberal or a migrant. Joco has always had a huge drug and moonshine problem – and if I would not be offed by naming names – I would. The poor people are the runners and the rich business owners (farmers, bankers, lawyers, etc.) are the ones who bring supply the money. Law has been bought off for a long, long time.

  6. Where’s the pictures of the dope and burnt spoons at??? I rode by and counted 5 marked chargers 3 marked suv,’s and 1 ***** ****** that day… they always post the pictures of what they find too show the public from what I’ve seen in the past on JOCO REPORT… Burnt Spoons should have made the Headlines!!!!

  7. Great job officers 👏 we appreciate you keeping our county safe and these horrible drugs off our stress and out of reach!

    • Why kind of reputation does he have? I do not think I know him…
      There are some people who pop up on here and I recognize their name immediately – I may not know them personally, but they have been in trouble enough that the name recognition is strong and probably half the county knows who they are.

      There could be drugs planted all in my house – but anyone who knows me at all – would immediately know it was not mine. I have never seen cocaine in real life or any other illegal drug except marijuana- I have seen that before. I do think marijuana should be legalized though.
      I believe most drugs were legal at one point in history.
      I do understand that addiction is a disease- whether it is drugs or alcohol- and I have seen it ruin families. Prison will not help most addictions – nor is it meant to, but that is another story for another time.

      • Addiction is terrible. Until said person faces it there’s nothing anyone can do. I am personally a recovering addict been 25 years but I’m still an addict. I don’t judge but I don’t run with the same crowd. Until you realize you have an addiction you can’t stop. I went to day by day treatments on my own guess what. They said was first step.

      • Leighlah34
        He is one whom needs prayer, help maybe, one who needs God’s people to do their work by reaching out providing guidance. One whom needs to know there is a higher power that can defeat all his demons.

        I have seen and know enough to STATE that this investigation is a lie pure bullcrap. I don’t do drugs however, I have had lots of family members go through it. I don’t judge the ones that do and/or are addicted. I pray and hope they get help. This whole thing is/was caused by jealousy / envy / MONEY CRAVING HUNGRY, narcissistic people close to him. It’s funny how in their own personal life they do many sinful things. Which is their business for sure. Let’s not be hypocrites though, sin is sin. That is a fact!!!!!!! What has happened to him, his *********** and a few others is so so sad. These people who love Jesus on Sunday and put up an image of doing the right thing and playing THE VICTOM but leave church and have so much anger towards another and wants to watch them suffer mentally / physically / financially / spiritually etc. have a special place reserved for them. Why not open your arms and love and help someone in distress instead of intentionally hurting others. Not sure what God they serve but it is not The One I serve who is Jesus the SAVIOR.
        My God is love LOVE. This is nothing but hate and again God don’t like hate and ugliness.
        You reap what you sow. Just sad all the way around.

        • I am not religious at all – more spiritual if you will. I don’t believe that there is A god, not this invisible being – unless that being is the sun, the moon etc. Not the discussion for this post. I stopped attending churches in JoCo because of the hateful preaching spewing from the pulpit and the pews. I refuse to hate someone because of the color of their skin, who they love, what their religion may or may not be, I will not vote for a person who openly mocks the disabled or attacks the freedoms of the press. Dangerous precedents.
          That being said – I can tell by your post that you care – or seem to – deeply about Mr. Creech. I am older than he is, so I don’t know him but I think one of my children may have gone to school with one of his cousins – well probably all of them if they went to North Johnston. and oh i just googled something – oh my. Yep – there it is. I see one name – don’t know her personally but have heard many many stories… that’s a rabbit hole I may have to go down. Are there business owners involved by chance?

  8. If it was done like all other searches, where are the pictures of what was seized? Oh my it is SPECULATION wow! Let’s just put it out there like it is SUSPECTED! That is bullcrap. What makes this search any different from all the others that get published in the news? If they have been doing an investigation for a MONTH looks to me they would have FACTS. One would think a month investigation, they would know when to hit that house if it was what they claim!!!!!!! Chris don’t even live there. The ones that are behind it know that..
    If you don’t know who is behind this, you truly don’t know the crap some of them have had to put up with. Then again the ones I’m pretty sure are, well Karma is a bitty and they will find that out one day. People can lie on others to make themselves look so good in the spotlight but God sees all and their day is coming sadly.
    Prayers for them all.

  9. Karma is a step in Hindu religion. Good Karma means a better life next time. Possibly some good fortune in this one. This is Christian country. Demons talking all over this page shows what kind of fruit has been presented. Drugs are keeping you from being sober minded as we are commanded to be. Step into the light of Christ and be blessed beyond measure. I am not condemning anyone, neither shall you be, I am telling you that he may come out of prison saying it’s the best thing that ever happened to him because he found God. The bible tells us not to forget the poor and those in prison. It sounds like he has a lot of friends, so don’t forget him. Be good to him and you will still have a friend when you are both off of drugs. There are no pictures posted because its an ongoing investigation without an apprehension. Don’t ever tell anybody not to be a white knight. You just sound crazy. If you have a superhero complex, you’re always a hero. This person talks too much.

  10. I have known Chris when he was at his best. It’s a shame there’s comments defending his actions. He needs help and anyone that says different is just his running buddies. Chris is a good guy at heart but his mind is blinded at the moment. You don’t have to do it but if you care for him I would let him know you care and you can see were his addiction has caused all this.

    • Wow you are a part of the clan that has helped with hurting his ***********. STOP no one needs to hear your negativity.
