Citizen complaints led to six arrests and the seizure of a large quantity of drugs in Bolton Feb. 2.
The sheriff’s office reported that the Vice Narcotics Division was investigating complaints about possible drug activity at a residence on Spearman Road. Detectives had the home under surveillance when they witnessed an alleged narcotics deal, a press release from the sheriff’s office said.
When the suspect vehicle was stopped near Delco, Charles Anthony Faulk Jr. of Wilmington and Jeremy Randall Wilson of Bolton were detained. Crack cocaine, oxycodone, marijuana scales and weights were confiscated.
Faulk was charged with sale and delivery of methamphetamine, two counts of trafficking in heroin, maintaining a vehicle or dwelling for drug activities, and possession of paraphernalia. His bond was set at $110,500.
Wilson was held under $20,500 secured bond, charged with sale and delivery of meth, possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver cocaine, maintaining a vehicle or dwelling for drug activities, and paraphernalia.
Investigators then obtained a search warrant for the home on Spearman Road. The HEAT team, SWAT and Vice Narcotics investigators converged on the house, where they located heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, Adderall, marijuana, a firearm, and cash.
Five people were arrested and charged at the home, including:
• Daniel Ray Reynolds Jr., 45, of Leland, possession with intent to sell and deliver heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and cocaine, maintaining a dwelling for drug activity, and paraphernalia. He was held under a $30,000 secured bond.
• Paul Wallace Young, 45, of Bolton, was charged with maintaining a dwelling for drug activity, possession with intent to sell and deliver heroin, cocaine, prescriptions, marijuana and methamphetamine, and paraphernalia. His bond was set at $40,000.
• Wantia Freeman, 48, also of Bolton, was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession with intent to sell and deliver heroin, prescription medication, cocaine, and marijuana, paraphernalia, and resisting an officer. Her bond was set at $40,500.
• Christine Elizabeth McCardell. 40, of Leland, was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana, maintaining a dwelling, and paraphernalia. Her bond was set at $30,000.
• Veronica Jacobs Howard, 43, of Bolton, was charged with sale and delivery of methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, prescription medication and marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for drug activity, and drug paraphernalia. Her bond was set at $40,000.
“The narcotics seized in this investigation consistently lead to addiction and overdoses,” Sheriff Jody Greene said in the press release. “Our continued goal is to attack the source of this problem. Please know, we are in your communities, working diligently to locate and seize illegal narcotics and criminally charge those responsible.”
