Narcotics Arrest Made After Vehicle Stop

On May 14, 2007, the Burke County Sheriff's Office Interstate Interdiction Deputy Chase Foss conducted a vehicle stop on Hartland Road in Morganton, for an equipment violation.

Rodrigo Orduna Resendiz, 33, right, of 1550 Connelly Springs Road Lot # 10, Lenoir, NC, has been charged with two separate narcotic offenses.

During the vehicle stop, Deputy Foss conducted a consent search of Resendiz and located an amount of powder cocaine and marijuana in the possession of Resendiz. Resendiz then consented to a search of his residence located in Caldwell County.
Deputy Foss contacted the Burke County Narcotics Task Force, who then contacted the Caldwell County Narcotics Division. The search of Resendiz's residence yielded more powdered cocaine and marijuana.
 
The Caldwell County Narcotics Division charged Resendiz and he was confined in the Caldwell County Jail. The Burke County Narcotics Task Force placed a hold on Resendiz for the charges pending in Burke County.
 
Resendiz has been charged in Burke County with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, approximately 14 grams, and possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, approximately 466 grams. Additional charges are still pending.
