| Another
"Crank" Drug Bust Made |
| |
A Morganton
Department of Public Safety officer stopped a truck for speeding Tuesday, but
hit paydirt when he reportedly found drugs inside the vehicle during a
search.
Officer J.D. Cooper stopped the truck near the intersection of
Tennessee and East Union Street, according to reports, and asked Timothy Dwayne
Walker (right), 33, of 7560 Pheasant Road, Vale,
if he would consent to a search of the vehicle. |
 |
|
| Walker reportedly gave his consent and Cooper
located a quantity of methamphetamine, also known as "crank," along with
marijuana and other drug paraphernalia. |
| |
| Walker was arrested and his truck, a 1998 Ford,
was seized by the Burke County Narcotics Task Force after their investigators
were called to the scene. |
| |
| Walker was charged with possession with intent
to sell and deliver methamphetamine. He was placed under a $15,000 secured bond
and will have a first court appearance today. |
