Drug Arrest Made on Liberty Church Road
 
A search warrant executed at an eastern Burke County home today resulted in the arrest of a Hickory man on drug charges.

Frank David Smith (right), 44, of 4239 Liberty Church Road, Hickory was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana at the conclusion of the raid. Additional charges are pending in the investigation, according to detectives.
 
Officers with the Burke County Narcotics Task Force and Burke County Animal Control Division searched the residence and seized marijuana, cocaine, drug paraphernalia and currency, according to reports.

With the keen nose of Officer Canine "Rusty" (left), a Jack Russell Terrier recently purchased by the Task Force, officers located the controlled substances and other items throughout the house, said an investigator who was on the scene. 
 
Smith was placed under a $3,000 secured bond and will have a first court appearance on Friday.
