A 34-year-old man was
arrested at a local motel on December 28th for possession of cocaine with
intent to sell and deliver.
Steven Wilson Sigmon (right), of 120 D Lowman Street also faces additional
charges of resisting arrest and obstructing an officer.
Sigmon was
charged for cocaine possession with intent to sell and deliver only three weeks
earlier, on December 7th, according to Burke County Narcotics Task Force
investigators. |

|
| Task Force detectives and officers with the
Morganton Department of Public Safety went to the motel after receiving
information about suspicious activity coming from one of the rooms, an
investigator said. |
| |
| As officers searched the room in question,
Sigmon and another male arrived, according to reports. |
| |
| One of the Task Force officers attempted to
frisk Sigmon for weapons, and an altercation began, the investigator said.
Sigmon was subdued and arrested by officers, and the Task Force officer was
taken to Grace Hospital, where he was treated and released for a shoulder
injury. |
| |
| Officers located cocaine and other drug
paraphernalia during the search, the investigator stated. |
| |
| Sigmon had a first court appearance on December
29th after being jailed on a $25,000 secured bond. |
