A traffic stop
by a Burke County Highway Interdiction Team deputy resulted in the confiscation
of drugs and the arrest of three men yesterday.
Deputy Tracy Icard
reportedly witnessed a vehicle driving left of center and stopped the car on
East Union Street at Kirksey Drive.
Damond Lamont "Peanut" Kincaid
(left), 21, of |
3996 Piney Road, Morganton, allegedly gave the officer
a fictitious name when the officer asked him for information. |
Adrian Douglas
Corpening (right), 24, of 3393 Etta Heights,
Morganton, and Kequan Tramayne Kincaid, 22, of 2386 Gingercake Court, Lenoir
were also inside the vehicle. Kequan Kincaid was arrested after authorities
discovered outstanding warrants for him in Caldwell County.
"Dee Dee," a
Morganton Department of Public Safety K-9, reportedly alerted officers to a
hidden |
 |
cache of cocaine, crack cocaine and currency inside of
the vehicle. |
| |
| The Burke County Narcotics Task Force was
contacted and charged Damond Kincaid and Adrian Corpening with possession with
intent to sell and deliver cocaine. They were placed under $20,000 secured
bonds and will have a first court appearance today. |
| |
| Charges are pending on Kequan Kincaid, who was
taken to Caldwell County for service of the outstanding warrants. |
| |
| Also assisting the Sheriff's Office in this case
were officers from the Morganton Department of Public Safety, Burke County
Narcotics Task Force, and Drexel Police Department. |
