County Narcotics Task Force assisted North Carolina Probation and Parole in
searching the residence of Christopher Michael Messick, 20, of 5827-A Willow

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, a Schedule One controlled substance commonly
referred to on the street as
"ecstasy." |

was taken into custody at his residence without incident. He was detained at
the Burke County Jail under a $15,000.00 secured bond and awaits a first
appearance on June 6. |
