Sheriff James A. McVicker said deputies with his office set up a license checking station on Chicken Foot Road in the Tobymory community of Bladen County Wednesday afternoon and in just a few short minutes made an arrest of an individual with a pound of marijuana and a concealed weapon.
“My deputies set up a license checking station Wednesday afternoon and one of the first cars to pass through had a strong odor of marijuana coming from it,” McVicker said.
“Deputies then had the driver pull to the shoulder of the road and did a search of the vehicle. This is when they found a pound of marijuana packaged for resale, $394.00 in US currency and a .38 caliber handgun.”
Arrested was Jeffrey Tyler Crawford, 24, of 423 Britton Street Whiteville, NC. Crawford was charged with one count of Carrying a Concealed Weapon, one count of Possession With Intent to Sell and Deliver Marijuana, and one count of Manufacturing Marijuana.
Crawford was placed in Bladen County Jail under a $10,500.00 secured bond.
