Ramon Jarver Currie, 26, has been charged with possessing alcohol for the purpose of selling, trafficking Schedule II narcotics, possession with intent to manufacture, sell, deliver marijuana, maintaining a vehicle for the purpose of selling controlled substances and possession of marijuana paraphernalia, according to a news release from N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement. Currie was being held in Columbus County Jail under a $104,000 secured bond.

Investigators were looking for a homicide suspect at 735 Mitchell Field Road, Clarkton, on Friday when they found the club, drugs and weapons, said Special Agent Brent Massey. The Bladen County Sheriff’s Office, Columbus County Sheriff’s Office and ALE conducted a search of Club Moan.

Multiple cases of beer were sitting on the bar and two coolers were full of various malt beverages, more than the legal amount of alcohol allowed by law for an individual to possess on his property, according to the release. A vehicle on the property was searched with consent and agents found two loaded handguns, three loaded rifles, 159 grams of marijuana, 73 tablets of Naproxen, 80 of Oxycodone, six of Alprazolam, 41 of Opana, three cases of beer, 20 bottles of liquor and $16,613 in cash.

Authorities say Currie took responsibility for the items found in the vehicle.
