Two Arrested for Possession of Narcotics

 
 
Delbert Carol Fredell, 52 Crystal Lori Wilson Dale, 39
 
Delbert Carol Fredell, of 2391 Watts Street, Morganton, NC, has been arrested and charged with possession of schedule II (cocaine base). Crystal Lori Wilson Dale, of 102 Cross Memorial Avenue, Morganton, NC, has been arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
 
On Friday February 3, 2012 members of the Burke County Narcotics Task Force, along with the Burke County Sheriff’s Office, went to 2391 Watts Street in Morganton after receiving complaints of possible drug activity.
 
Once officers entered the residence they encountered several subjects throughout the residence.
 
After all the subjects were secured without incident, officers searched the residence and located cocaine along with drug paraphernalia hidden inside a washing machine under a pile of dirty laundry.
 
As officers were searching Dale, a crack pipe fell from Dale’s clothing.
 
After checking all subjects for outstanding warrants it was determined that Myra Denise Dula had active warrants for her arrest in Caldwell County for simple affray and two counts of misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon.
 
Dula was taken into custody and placed in the Burke Catawba District Confinement Facility under a $2,300.00 secured bond.
 
Investigators are currently working with the home owner to rid the community of this problem.
 
Additional charges are pending in this case.
 
Fredell was placed under a $5,000.00 secured bond and first court appearance is scheduled for February 6, 2012. Dale was placed under a $500.00 secured bond and first court appearance is scheduled for February 21, 2012.
