Tint Violation Leads to Drug Charge |
| |
A Hickory man was jailed
on drug charges Tuesday, after a Morganton Department Public Safety officer
stopped his vehicle for a window tinting violation.
The Burke County
Narcotics Task Force entered the case after PSO J. D. Cooper stopped
Christopher David Towery (right), 23, of 7136
Griffin Road, Hickory. During the stop, officers reportedly recovered a 9 mm
handgun, cocaine, marijuana, and a sum of currency. |

|
| Towery was taken into custody without incident,
according to a Burke County Narcotics Task Force press release. He was
charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine. Additional
charges are pending, stated an investigator. |
| |
| Towery was jailed on a $5,000 secured bond and
will have a first court appearance today. |
