| Speeding
Violation Turns Into Drug Charges |
| |
 |
A Morganton
man probably wishes he had paid better attention to the city speed limit signs
after his arrest on Monday.
Darren Liticus Robinson (left), 36, of 407 Vine Arden Road was stopped by Morganton
Public Safety Officer Scott Lanning for speeding on Carbon City Road. Robinson
was arrested after officers learned he had an outstanding child support warrant
against him. |
|
| During a search of Robinson's vehicle after his
arrest, officers reportedly located crack cocaine and marijuana. |
| |
| The Burke County Narcotics Task Force charged
Robinson with possession with intent to sell and deliver crack cocaine. He was
placed under a $20,000 secured bond on the drug charge, and was placed under an
additional cash bond of $10,886.51 for the child support non-compliance
charge. |
| |
| Additional drug charges are pending. Robinson
has a first court appearance today. |
